Biography
He formed the group Malta together with Göran Fristorp. They competed in Melodifestivalen 1973 with the song "Sommar'n som aldrig säger nej." They won the contest while a little known group of four called "Agnetha, Anni-Frid, Björn, and Benny" finished in third place with their song "Ring Ring (Bara du slog en signal)." As a result of that victory, the duo represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 under the name of "Nova and the Dolls", where they translated their song into English with the title "You're Summer (You Never Tell Me No)" and finished fifth. In 1979, af Geijerstam was the sound engineer for ABBA's North American and European tour.
