Aditone is a dynamic music artist from Sweden. One listen to his song
“Dynasty” and you’ll feel like you’ve been in the presence of musical
greatness. It’s no wonder, then, that he counts Michael Jackson as an
influence. His over-the-top sound and passion for what he does reminds
me of MJ.
Aditone has been passionate
about writing music for his entire life. Even as a little kid, at the
age of 5, he wrote song lyrics. He remembers attending a wedding and
hearing a melody there. The next day he decided to put his own words to
the melody he remembered.
”During high school, Aditone was a member of a boy band called “Give N Take.”
He still has that cool, youthful feel to his music even now. One look
at his music video for the song “Dynasty” and you’ll be able to see Aditone is a seasoned performer! His style is that of a sharp dressed man in black and white with a cool haircut and a serious look.
The music video for “Dynasty” shows us glimpses of Helsingborg,
Sweden. I love the slick Porsche in it, as well as shots of the trees,
buildings and architecture of the region.
What is it about Sweden that produces great pop music makers like
Aditone? Think about it: Abba, Roxette, Icona Pop and Robyn all come
from Sweden, and Max Martin, the hit-making pop music producer, does,
too. Besides the U.S. and the UK, Sweden is one of the world’s biggest
music exporters. So what is it about Sweden that makes it the kind of
place known for outstanding pop singers and songwriters and producers? I
think it comes down to the fact that Swedes offer feel-good melodies,
simple lyrics, and a fun spin to their songs. Swedish songs engage
people’s ears! It also helps that the Swedish government encourages
young music makers through subsidized after school music programs.
