Kjell Höglund

Biography

Kjell Höglund (born 8 December 1945 in Östersund, Sweden) is a Swedish singer-songwriter.
Höglund, who found his musical breakthrough in the 1970s, is in his native country renowned for his mixture of realism, absurdism and surrealism in his lyrics. He made 14 albums between 1971 and 2006, in addition to the two album collections Glöd (1988) and Lokomotiv (1994).
In 1992 he was nominated for a Grammis award for best male pop.
Kjell Höglund has also published books with esoteric and pseudo-scientific content.
Many of Höglund's beliefs presented in these works are similar to those of the Danish new age mystic Martinus.
