Wiehe was born in Stockholm. His father was Danish and he spent the first six years of his life in Copenhagen. His father left the family when Wiehe was five years old, and when he was six his mother moved with the family to Malmö, in the Scania region of southern Sweden, giving Wiehe his noticeable Scanian accent. He is a leftist folk musician, dealing with what he considers right and wrong in the society from the eyes of the proletariat, but he also writes personal, non-political songs. Wiehe was one of the lead singers and the leading songwriter of Hoola Bandoola Band in the 1970s. After the band broke up in 1975, he was the leader of various other bands before becoming a solo artist in the early 1980s. He was a close friend of Björn Afzelius, the other lead singer of Hoola Bandoola Band. They sometimes toured around Scandinavia and recorded together in the 1980s and 1990s. As of 2022, Wiehe performs all around Sweden, using material from his 20-some albums (excluding various compilations). A recently published song book contains the lyrics and melodies to 220 of his songs. In 2000, he released the single Det här är ditt land, a Swedish-language adaptation of the Woody Guthrie song This Land Is Your Land which received substantial play on Swedish radio. Wiehe has also translated many of Bob Dylan's songs into Swedish, some of which were performed by Totta Näslund. On 13 August 2025, he announced in Sommar in Sveriges Radio that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a year and a half earlier.
