Peter Jöback is back, has he ever been away? Well Yes,
he has been living in New York City for
the past year enjoying some time-out of the limelight.
In fact Svt T V have recently shown
a documentary of Peter's time in the Big Apple entitled- 'Happy Handsome &
Unknown' directed by Anders Halberg. Peter is far from unknown in
Sweden he is one of the countries best Male singers. Since his breakthrough
performing in Bjorn & Benny's
'Kristina' Musical (the swedish original) Peter is better known for his starring
roles in Musicals Miss Saigon, West Side Story, Grease & Cabaret.
Not one to be type cast, he has a success Pop career as well with regular
hits in his homeland. Then in 2007 he got together with indie band
'Laakso' to bring out the single 'Italy Vs Helsinki' one of his best I think.
This indie theme seems to be continued with the upcoming release of
his NYC album 'East Side Stories' recorded near Woodstock! the lead
single is a duet with B52's Kate Pierson.
