Jens Lekman
Jens Lekman is a Swedish singer-songwriter born in 1981 in Angered, Gothenburg. He gained prominence in the early 2000s with his debut album, "When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog" (2004), and is known for his clever lyrics and catchy melodies blending pop and indie genres. Lekman has a unique side career as a wedding singer, a vocation he humorously embraced after fans interpreted his song "If You Ever Need a Stranger (to Sing at Your Wedding)" as a genuine offer. Over the years, he has performed at numerous weddings, particularly in the U.S., while also continuing to release critically acclaimed albums like "Night Falls Over Kortedala" (2007) and "Life Will See You Now" (2017). His latest project includes a concept album and a novel titled "Songs for Other People's Weddings," which explores themes of love and connection through the lens of his experiences in the wedding industry.
