Pontus Andersen is currently one of Blekinge's most successful songwriters.

In addition to his own stuff with Coola Kids, he also writes songs for other artists.

Pontus Andersen is surprised by the top position.

- I know people who are much better at music.

It did not really clap in my head, he says.

Top five

In addition to Pontus Andersen, Emil Behmer, Christer Hultgren, Frej Larsson and Lars Lindquist are on the list of Blekinge's five most successful songwriters.

Especially Emil Behmer and Frej Larsson are musicians that Pontus Andersen is inspired by and looks up to, which makes it difficult for him to understand that he is one of them.

Wants to develop

So far, Pontus Andersen has only written Swedish party songs.

Now he is eager to develop and try something new.

He is thinking about starting to write songs in English and about other emotions that do not just signal partying.

- It would have been fun to redo heartache or anger maybe ... some other feeling, he says.

The statistics are based on songwriters in Blekinge County in the STIM member register, and are based on the music compensation for 2020 from a number of different sources.
