Biography
He formed his first band in his teens, and a couple of years later he moved to Gothenburg (where he still resides). In the mid nineties, Lemma was a part of the group Mo Blues. He later moved to New York, where he recorded an album (for Pallas Records) that was never released due to a legal dispute. After returning to Sweden in 2000, Lemma recorded the soundtrack to Josef Fares' movie Jalla! (which in turn rendered Lemma a Grammis nomination for best song, the romantic "If I Used to Love You"). Morning Train, the album containing that single, went gold and served as a breakthrough to a much wider audience. Lemma has released three albums for Warner Music: Morning Train (2001), Meeting at the Building (2003) and Dreamers and Fools (2005). He has also released three albums on his label Dextra Music: Somebody on Your Side (2007), Rebound (2009) and Telescope (2012). He has also made music for various films and theatre-projects. In cooperation with Pär Klang, Lemma wrote and performed the official song, "Changing the World", of the World Scout Jamboree 2011.
The recorded working language is Swedish and English. The field of work recorded is music, film score and television score.
