Martin Ericsson

Sweden has given the music world many stars, including ABBA, Ace of Base and Roxette. Scandinavian singer Martin Eriksson, who gained fame under the pseudonym E-Type, also joined this stream. The tracks of the long-haired artist blew up the dance floor in the mid-1990s, when Eurodance music was at its peak. Martin's rhythmic songs with verse recitations and melodic choruses vividly illustrate what the discos of the 90s were during their heyday.

Boo Martin Erik Ericsson was born in 1965 in the ancient Swedish city of Uppsala, which is located near Stockholm. Over time, the family moved to the capital, settling in the western part of the city - Bromme. The musician's father Boo Gustaf is a well-known journalist who hosted a science show on television, and his mother was engaged in raising three children: Martin has a sister and a brother.

The obsession with music came before the fascination with girls. The guy was a music lover, listening to different records, from Mozart to Bob Marley. But at first he focused on rock music, preferring heavy genres like heavy metal and hard rock, in which he practiced with a classmate.

After graduating from high school, Martin went to study as a lawyer and even managed to work in a hospital before going on stage. Although the work was also related to music: the young man played the piano in hospices. At the age of 20, Ericsson lost his mother, the most dear person to him. It was she who insisted that her son build a career as a pop star, and still managed to see the beginning of his creative biography.

The first person to notice Martin's achievements was the famous Swedish musician and video maker Stakka Bo, with whom the aspiring singer recorded a couple of tracks. However, the real fame was brought by the self-recorded song "Set The World On Fire", which was released in 1994 and became the main hit of the summer, topping the charts and receiving gold status.

The part of the female vocals in the chorus belonged to the Swedish singer Nana Hedin, with whom it turned out to be a long and fruitful collaboration. The soloist of the verses was Martin himself.

The release of the debut album "Made In Sweden" was preceded by another single "This Is The Way", which also conquered the audience with its dynamism and dance drive. As a result, the 1994 record became a successful release, gaining popularity not only in Sweden. In Russia, E-Type's music found a lively response, and he even made a curtsey towards Russian fans, writing "Russian Lullaby", which began with the exclamation "Hello! My name is E-Type. To your health! "

In addition to energetic incendiary tracks, the first disc also featured the slow song “Do You Always (Have To Be Alone)”, which showed that the ballad genre was also subject to Martin. Following this, for 5 years, the musician continues to create hits, including "Angels Crying", "Calling Your Name" and "Here I Go Again", which replenished the albums "The Explorer" (1996) and "Last Man Standing" (1998) ...

However, by the early 2000s, the artist's popularity was declining, as other genres were becoming trendsetters in the music world. In 2000, E-Type recorded the track "Campione 2000", which became the anthem of the European Football Championship. The release "Euro IV Ever" (2001) still occupies a high position in the Swedish chart, but can no longer achieve the success of previous works. There are 6 studio albums in the E-Type discography, the last of which was released in 2007.

Martin became popular in his youth, and his personal life has always interested fans. The singer's serious relationship began in 1999 and lasted 10 years. The partner was much younger than the man and had nothing to do with the world of show business, the lovers lived together for a long time, but they never became husband and wife.

In an interview with the Let Them Talk program in 2013, the musician admitted that he dreams of a strong family and fatherhood, but he has no doubt that the period of active creative activity in the 1990s was not the right time for marriage.

Ericsson runs a business in Sweden: Martin has a Viking restaurant “Aifur” and a shop with stylized Viking decorations. Historical reconstructions are one of the performer's hobbies. The country estate houses weapons, 3 boats and old costumes, putting on which he feels like an ancient warrior.

The house is home to 6 dogs, which the man picked up on the streets. He is happy to take care of them and calls for attention to the problem of homeless pets. The singer's hobbies include car and motorcycle racing, as well as shooting at flying targets. In his spare time, Martin plays table tennis and American billiards.

The peak of popularity of E-Type came in the 1990s, but even now the musician is not sitting idle. He speaks to a generation nostalgic for times gone by.

The man keeps in touch with fans through Facebook. Here you can read the news, get acquainted with the announcements of concerts and details of the singer's private life.

For example, learn that he writes books in the spirit of historical novels for children and adolescents, draws pictures, and is also independently engaged in the construction and repair of a house and a restaurant. The celebrity saws, planes, kneads the mortar and skillfully wields a drill, which he willingly demonstrates in the photo.
