 Semi-Final 4 Artists & Songs Presentations!01. OUTTRIGGER("Awaken Me") Outtrigger was formed in spring of 2008. The band was created by Simon Peyron(Guitarist and singer) and Sebastian Falk(drums) which had been class mates since preschool. In the fall of 2007 the band had been rearranged from being a band to play in while waiting for something else, to become a fully functional band. Timmy Andersson (guitarist), Niclas Åkesson (Lead singer) and Oliver ßovac (Bass) joined the group and they started rehearsing several days a week. They had set their mind for going somewhere with their music.
After a lot of practicing together and tons of shows in southern  Sweden the band started to actually become known in the areas of Sweden. In the summer of 2009 the band was tired of playing shows with stages that literally was carpets without any sort of backline. The band decided to start to arrange a night with bands that were unknown or that hadn't got the attention they deserved, to play on a good stage with a good backline and a lot of people. The night was named Metalfield and is now the biggest metal-event In Helsingborg!
Outtriggers latest recording Utestified Revolution is reflecting on something that everyone is trying to achieve regardless of what the goal is! They have tried to bring as variable feelings as possible out of the music and tried not to work with the lyrics separate from the music. Their main focus of the production was that the sense of the music would be as clear as the sense of their lyrics. Unfortunately Sebastian decided a short time after the recording to leave the band due to different personal reasons. He was soon replaced by the drummer John Löfgren who has had great success in bands like (formal) make a mess and Six in line. He also plays in a band called Gun held high, even at this day, which has gained great success.
Outtrigger did their first music video to one of the songs on the EP called “World of fire” and participated in Melodifestivalen 2014 with their song called “Echo”, qualified to the "Second Chance" (Andra Chansen) and lost to Helena Paparizou.
They are ready to open the fourth semi-final of Fantasifestivalen 09 with their song "Awaken Me".02. BELLE FEAT. SOUNDFACTORY("Attraction") Belle is a Swedish pop singer.
‘Attraction’ is all about the theory of there being a law of attraction. According to Belle herself, “Yes, I do believe in the law of attraction. Since a goal without a plan is only a dream; it’s powerful to visualise it, to see and feel it happen. I’m not afraid of taking the first step if I’m attracted to someone. You don’t get anywhere stuck in a corner. I guess I’m a go-getter both in private and as a creative person“.
The song 'Attraction' has been submitted to Fantasifestivalen 09, not in the original version, but mixed by SoundFactory and with him credited as a featured artist.
"Attraction" will be performed 2nd in the fourth semi-final.03. NORDMAN("Om Gud Var Jag") Led by singer Håkan Hemlin, Swedish folk-pop/rock group Nordman experienced tremendous success from 1994-1998 before breaking up. Upon reuniting in 2004, the group experienced renewed success in its homeland. Formed in 1991 by Hemlin and Mats Wester, Nordman made their recording debut in 1994 with the single "Förlist," followed by a self-titled album that became perhaps the group's greatest success. Featuring the Top Five hit "Förlist," the Top Ten hit "Vandraren," and the Top 40 hit "Laglöst Land," Nordman topped the Swedish albums chart for 16 straight weeks and was lodged on the chart for 99 weeks overall; it also charted in neighboring  Finland and  Norway at number 17 and 24, respectively. The band's follow-up album, Ingenmansland (1995), was also a chart-topper in Sweden, though it wasn't quite the sensation its predecessor had been, spawning only one major hit, "Be Mig." Nordman's third album, Här Och Nu (1997), performed similarly, charting well at number five but once again failing to rival the success of its predecessor. In 1998 Nordman broke up, and a couple best-of compilations (Nordmans Bästa: I Vandrarens Fotspår, 2001; Bästa, 2004) were released during the six-year gap leading up to the group's eventual reunion in 2004. The first post-reunion album, Anno 2005 (2005), proved popular, charting Top Ten on the Swedish albums chart and spawning a Top Ten hit single, "Ödet Var Min Väg." The follow-up album, Djävul Eller Gud (2008), became an even greater success, charting Top Three and spawning a pair of Top Ten hits: "Du Behöver" and "I Lågornas Sken."
Third song of the evening of the 4th semi-final will be called "Om Gud Var Jag".04. ROBIN BENGTSSON("Cross The Universe") Robin Bengtsson is a Swedish singer who took part in Swedish Idol 2008 finishing third behind winner  Kevin Borg and runner-up Alice Svensson. In mid-2009, he was signed by Merion Music label releasing the single "Another Lover's Gone", which also participated in Fantasifestivalen 07 and ended up 5th in the semi-final. Bengtsson was also a guest of Katrin Zytomierska's programs Idol 2008: Eftersnack and ZTV program Sexuellt. In 2010, Robin took part in the charity song "Wake Up World" for "Hjälp Haiti" with Karl Martindahl and Daniel "The Moniker" Karlsson and also performed the song "Long Long Night" with Kim Fransson.
He's back with his song "Cross The Universe", which will be presented 4th in semi-Final 4.05. LOVESTONED("I Know Nothing") Lovestoned is a  Swedish-German pop music group consisting of Pär Stenhammar, Robert Kragh, Elena Boyadjyeva and Emilie Fjällström. The group was formed in 2007 when they received a recording contract. Their debut single “Rising Girl” met success in Germany when it was released in late 2009. They participated in Melodifestivalen 2010 with the song “Thursdays” (with music by Thomas G:son and Peter Boström and lyrics by Sharon Vaughn.) They took the sixth place in the fourth semifinal in Malmö.
All of the members have different ethnic backgrounds. Boyadjyeva was born in  Bulgaria but grew up and lives in Berlin. Fjällström was born and raised in Skellefteå, but now lives in Stockholm. Kragh was born in  Colombia, but grew up in Umeå and now lives in Stockholm and Stenhammar was born, raised and lives in Stockholm.
"I Know Nothing", so the song by Lovestoned is called they will present 5th in the fourth semi-final.06. OLA("Jackie Kennedy") If one thing spelled instant fame in Sweden in the early 2000s it was an appearance on Swedish Idol, and this was certainly the case for Ola Svensson (aka Ola), who became a celebrity in his homeland following his stint on the 2005 edition of the show. An avid footballer, Ola was grooming himself to become a professional athlete by the time he reached high school. Pressured by his friends, who had been wowed by his performance in a school musical earlier that year, the young athlete tried out for the second season of Idol. He soon found himself competing with the likes of Agnes Carlsson, Sebastian Karlsson, and Måns Zelmerlöw in what would prove to be a truly tough edition of the show. He was trounced in the fourth week, defeated by Zelmerlöw and Jens Pääjärvi (both of whom would succumb to Carlsson in the end). Ola was contacted by producer Jonas Saeed soon after, and over the course of the next two years Ola enjoyed success on the Swedish charts with singles like "Rain," "Natalie," and "Brothers." His first studio album, 2006's Given to Fly, debuted at number one in his homeland. His sophomore outing, Good Enough, peaked at the number two spot, and his eponymous third outing, 2010's Ola, which spawned a trio of hit singles, including the international hit "All Over the World," was the first album to be released on his own Oliniho Records. In 2012, Ola released a new international single, "I'm in Love," in anticipation of his upcoming fourth studio album from where his new single "Jackie Kennedy" is going to compete in the swedish selection for North Vision Song Contest, Fantasifestivalen 09.
"Jackie Kenndy", a reference to the former First Lady of the USA, the wife of John F. Kennedy, will be the song Ola will be singing 6th in semi-final 4.07. FAYE("Breathe Out") An arresting, acclaimed artist who according to MTV is "poised to meet all expectations," Swedish siren FAYE returns to release her second spellbinding single "Breathe Out" through Best Fit Recordings.
The story behind vocalist Faye Hamlin is by no means a usual one. How many singers can say that they spent their adolescence touring the world with the likes of Destiny's Child and Aaron Carter as one quarter of hugely successful, million selling Swedish girl group "Play"? Not many. And even fewer have been able to go on to create music with as much integrity and stylistic prowess as that which FAYE is so naturally and brilliantly releasing today.
Since releasing her dynamic, addictive debut single "Water Against The Rocks" earlier this year -- a song which was described as "extraordinary" by PopJustice, with The Guardian hailing it as a track which "overflows with emotion... spectacular" -- FAYE has been captivating European audiences with her compelling live show, enchanting all who fall in the path of her soaring, heart-wrenching vocals and irresistible pop hooks.
Written and recorded with Swedish production powerhouse Montauk, "Water Against The Rocks" inspired remixes from the likes of Museum of Bellas Artes, Dreamtrak and HNNY, and was also performed as part of her acclaimed Daytrotter Session. The unveiling of the sublime "Come To Me" as well as a free download of the understatedly ice-cool anthem 'Mad Dog' led to further excitement and critical excitement, and now FAYE returns with her most ambitious track to date.
Allowing the Swedish songstress to fully unleash her extraordinary vocal range, "Breathe Out" is a stirring, heartbreaking proposition, showcasing FAYE's pristine vocals anchored by gleaming synths and a seamless electronic backdrop. Pouring every ounce of her heart and soul into the track, "Breathe Out" perfectly illustrates FAYE's honest and ambitious approach to her solo creations, her perfect blend of electronica and pop leaving an indelible impression upon all who listen in.
Having been selected to take part in Fantasifestivalen, open for Jessie Ware as well as her forthcoming collaboration with iconic Swedish producer Kleerup, there's no stopping this exceptionally gifted artist, or as The Independent describe her, "a formidable creative force... A true Swedish gem."
Song Number 7 of semi-final 4 - "Breathe Out" by Faye.08. KEVIN WALKER("Belong") Kevin Walker is a Swedish singer, known for winning the 2013 season of Swedish Idol. He is actually a football (soccer) player in of  Irish heritage. He is playing in the Swedish second league team GIF Sundsvall.
