Andreas Öberg's Music Journey
Andreas Öberg was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He started playing the classical guitar when he was just seven years old. By the time he was twelve, he switched to the electric guitar. His teachers helped him learn about blues and jazz fusion music. Later, he studied music at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
Andreas began his professional music career at eighteen. He worked with Swedish singers like Viktoria Tolstoy and Svante Thuresson. From 2003 to 2006, he made six albums with Hot Club Records. In 2006, he joined Resonance Records. He described his music then as a mix of jazz, funk, soul, and Latin styles. He even played with the Resonance Big Band on an album that was nominated for a Grammy Award!
In 2009, Andreas started his own website, Andreas' Guitar Universe. On this site, he teaches guitar lessons online. He has also worked with many legendary musicians. These include Barbara Hendricks, Hank Jones, Les Paul, Eros Ramazzotti, and Toots Thielemans.

He worked with Andreas Carlsson, who encouraged him to write song lyrics too. As a songwriter, Andreas has teamed up with Melanie Fontana and Ludwig Göransson. He has written and produced pop songs for artists in Sweden, America, and Japan.
In 2015, Andreas co-wrote a song called "Romance" for the K-pop group SHINee. Their album, Odd, became very popular. It was number one on the Korean Gaon Music Chart for two weeks. It also topped the Billboard World Albums chart.
