    Artist: Andreas Aleman

    Label: Eidolon / Plugged

    Soulful vocals, hot grooves and fantastic keyboard chops….

    Andreas Aleman has just completed his debut album, THIS IS LIFE. The 33-year old vocalist/keyboardist has previously worked as an accompanist for Sweden’s top gospel choirs and solo artists. As a songwriter, he has had songs recorded by artists throughout the world including Italian superstar, Laura Pausini.

    The album combines traditional soul/R&B/gospel and funk elements, which pays homage to his influences, Ray Charles, Michael McDonald and others, while maintaining his own contemporary sound. In addition to his exciting voice and songwriting skills (he wrote 12 of the 13 songs featured on the album), Andreas is a talented keyboardist and arranger. All keyboard work, vocal and instrumental arrangements were done by Andreas and THIS IS LIFE features some of the best and funkiest studio musicians from Sweden.

    This is what people are saying about This Is Life:

    "Yeah, Andreas is the new Swedish Funky Boy!
    I do dig his brand new album! It has all the grooves, the moods and modes it takes to reach out to a lot of people, young and old "
    Nils Landgren- trombonist, vocalist & funkmeister

    "Here's living proof that Swedish artists are still able to create first class westcoast pop. Andreas places himself among artists like Bill Champlin, Kenny Loggins, Bill Cantos and Bobby Caldwell. This is a CD with a lot of variety; there's even a hint of Earth Wind & Fire and Tower Of Power in some songs."
