Bosse Saxell

Bosse Saxell was born in Helsingborg, Sweden, in 1951. He is married to Kerstin and is the father of no less than nine children - some of which are turning into promising artists on the local music scene and are featured on his latest album, Hund & Katt.

Having a father being a drummer in a jazz band, and a grandfather being a well known swedish troubadur, one can say that music is in the family. As many other youngsters, he played classic piano during primary school. Adopting his fathers old drums, he turned to rock music and through this to guitar playing. This led to an education at the musical conservatory in Malmö on classic guitar, followed by his current day job as music teacher in secondary school.

His musical career took flight in the mid-eighties while using the pseudonym MÖRK, under which he published four albums. In 1997 he published his first record in his own name. Also, he made one of the songs for the swedish movie "Blådårar" - a movie about the soccer-team Malmö FF. Bosse started recording the music for his next album shortly after having finished the movie project, but it took five years to complete this album, called "Hund & Katt". During this time he nursed his carrer as a poet, and he has published several poetry books along with poetry, lyrics and music for the live show "Fria Händer", performed all over Sweden by Roland Gottlow and his trio.
