Jonas Erik Altberg, better known as Basshunter - is the ultimate bass creator and the worlds most in-demand commercial dance artist.

After signing a record deal with Warner Music in 2006, his first single ‘Boten Anna’ was an instant hit, securing the No.1 slot in 8 European countries and making him the fastest selling artist in Sweden since Abba.â€¨A thumping Euro dance smash, Basshunter re-worked ‘Boten Anna’ and recorded it in English, with the end result being released in January 2008 as ‘Now You’re Gone’. The track shot to No.1 in the UK where it remained for 5 consecutive weeks. It went on to become the biggest selling dance single of 2008 and has sold over 400,000 copies in the UK, achieving gold record status. Swiftly followed by the massive selling #2 (for 3 weeks) smash ‘All I Ever Wanted’, Basshunter launched his debut album ‘Now You’re Gone’ in summer 2008 seeing it reach the # 1 spot & hitting Platinum status. The hits continued throughout the year with ‘Angel In The Night’, ‘I Miss You’ & ‘Walk on Water’.â€¨Spending the first half of 2009 headlining the huge UK Dance Nation Arena Tour and writing his second UK album, Basshunter stormed back into the charts with ‘Every Morning’ in September 2009. The album Bass Generation (Silver Sales Status) came soon after and Jonas toured the UK once again, taking his sell out Bass Generation show on the road!
