Lars Mattias Winnerbäck (born on October 19, 1975) is a famous Swedish singer and songwriter. He was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Lars spent his childhood in a town called Vidingsjö, near Linköping. He even went to high school there at Katedralskolan.
In 1996, Lars moved back to Stockholm. This was the same year he released his very first music album, called Dans med svåra steg. Today, he is known as one of Sweden's most popular music artists.
Lars Winnerbäck writes all his songs in Swedish. His lyrics often talk about everyday life and feelings. He sings about relationships and how different life can be in a small town like Linköping compared to a big city like Stockholm. His music is influenced by other great songwriters like Bob Dylan.
Many years after their first release, his old vinyl records were re-released in October 2011. A lot of these records became popular again. They even appeared on the Sverigetopplistan, which is Sweden's official music chart.
Lars Winnerbäck has also been featured in two full-length documentary films. These movies tell his story and show his journey in music. The first film was Solen i ögonen – En film om Lars Winnerbäck (2008). The second one was Winnerbäck - Ett slags liv (2017).
