Måns is a versatile artist who has won Swedish TV show, Let’s Dance, played lead roles in Grease and Romeo and Juliet and turned his hand at TV presenting, all whilst holding down a career as a successful composer and recording artist.

‘Heroes’ is an example of what he hopes to achieve with his next album which will be out later this year – a mix of organic musicianship with an electronic influence and a touch of the personality that helped him become so successful in the first place.
