Early life

At age of 14,[9] he started singing in a choir run by his mother which birthed his passion for singing.[10] He also sang in a rock band for two years[11] where he became acquainted with experimental music.[12] Basshunter first went to Kattegattgymnasiet secondary school, a technical school[6] with computer technology focus. However, after two years he moved to Sturegymnasiet with a music specialization[13] a secondary school in Halmstad to study music.[6] He finished secondary school in 2005,[13] and he also attended college but did not complete his program.[7] He and Joakim were selling golf balls collected from the pond on one of Halmstad's golf courses.

Artistry
Musical style

Basshunter defines his music as eurodance.[125] He says his music is cheerful, full of energy and very melodic, stating that it does not sound like other types of music, and adding that producers and artists display their own identity in their works. He feels he is passionate about basslines as a musician and uses them in his music. He added: "If you listen to a song on the radio, you can definitely tell whose music it is. When you listen to my music, you can tell it is Basshunter."[126] Basshunter like to create songs in minor scale.[19] He has at least five pseudonyms under which he produces music but they are unknown. He produces different music on the sly.[13] He always takes his laptop for concert tours with him where he can record ideas spontaneously, and come back to them when he is back to his main studio.[112] In 2020 he described himself as quite emotional producer after a few years break from producing music.[127]
As influences, he mentions listening to DJ Balloon,[128] Rocco and bands Warp Brothers[21] and Snap!.[128] He also listened to many underground tracks that had never been released, or had not been widely known by the general public[10] as well as German and Dutch techno music,[129] trance,[130] reggae, funk and blues music, particularly music of Ray Charles.[35] He consider Ali Payami as one of the best music producers, songwriters and DJ's.[131] The first release he bought was a single "The Way" by Fastball in the 1990s.[132] He is fan of Robbie Williams.[133] Basshunter work has influenced Avicii,[134] Bladee[135] and Earmake.[136] CMAT,[137] Nordpolen,[138] Surf Mesa[139] and Linda Thelenius like Basshunter music.[140]
The first computer he used was Atari ST.[141] After achieving commercial success, he bought software to produce his music.[142] About 95% of his music is created with digital audio workstations, including FL Studio, Logic Pro,[7] Logic Studio,[143] Pro Tools, Cubase,[11] and Virtual Studio Technology plugins.[142] He also plays the guitar.[35] He told that the stores buy an album for about a hundred of Swedish krona and he get 12-13 percent from it. He said that people think he listen techno in his headphones all the time but he very rarely listen to the music he produce. It gives him me a wider perspective.[13]
Basshunter considers his fan base very important for his career[21] and knows that many of his non-Scandinavian fans actually prefer his songs in Swedish.[128] Writing in English may be an advantage for reaching international audiences,[126] but he has also said that he likes the challenge of writing songs in English.[142]
