Visuals for 'Din Soldat'

Here's the video of Albin and Kristin Amparo performing at GroovyTracks with their song 'Din Soldat'. Follow the soulfulness in my life - go to Soul By Sandy :)

SOLD OUT!

A happy jump must be 'the-posture-of-my-life' :) My Photoblocks that I sell at Designtorget sold out! Intense work for 4 days led to another 130 pieces of Photoblocks... my fingers feel like bleeding and dust is still coming out of my nostrils. BUT, I managed to focus and produce these awesome little babies though Swedish summer made it very tempting to just stay outside... I'm very happy and proud to be at Designtorget! Thank you for supporting my work, hope to see Photoblocks in every home I visit hehe ;)Love,
Sandy

Timeless beauty on a summer evening

Camila and I haven't done a photo shoot for some time now, so I'm very happy we got to do one finally. The setting: A warm evening in the midst of Stockholm, where the light keeps is company all night long.

Summer Luvin'

This is what happens when you get some time off with friends - happy jumps all night long! Me and Philastian went for an evening walk around Långholmen, a small island you must visit while being in Stockholm. Close to "Södermalm" this is where you actually find ok water to swim in :) And now sun is finally here again after a minor winter-period and it's very very warm, another week like this and the water will be perfectly heated for madame haha!

PS. Love my new pants from Swedish fashion brand Rodebjer. The best asset this summer!

GroovyTracks - live with Sweden's most played song

Loads of things were going on at the same time in our small studio! 

Sweden's most played song right now is called 'Din Soldat' (Your Soldier) and just sold Platina here in less than two months time, which is so cool! It also reached over 7 million plays on Spotify... The artists behind 'Din Soldat' came to GroovyTracks and sang their song live in an acoustic version were hip hop met soul - Albin feat. Kristin Amparo.

The pianist, Jonathan Alfredsson, blew me away with his talent!

Jonathan, Sandy, Albin and Kristin.Kristin was going to a release party just after having been live on air and she looked so awesome. Like a real soul queen with THE real soul voice. She also performed with Swedish 'Dim Out' at Scandinavian Soul Award Night in February this year. They're both working on new albums to be released this fall, very exciting!!! Dim Out came to GroovyTracks a couple of weeks ago to perform his song 'Förort' live at Radio Skanstull. It sounded like this. Listen to the podcast and enjoy an acoustic live version of 'Din Soldat' with Albin and Kristin Amparo. Big up to Albin Johnsén, Kristin Amparo Sundberg, Jonathan Alfredsson, Nora Bellil och Noah Gibson. And Radio Skanstull of course, love it there :)Puss & love,
DJ Sandy
