[edit] Career

He was a founding member of Gyllene Tider in 1978, and together with a friend, singer Marie Fredriksson, created Roxette in 1986. In 1990 Per Gessle wrote a single The Sweet Hello The Sad Goodbye for Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame). He has also participated with the Swedish singer Nisse Hellberg in the project The Lonely Boys and wrote Belinda Carlisle's 1997 UK top 10 hit single Always Breaking My Heart.

The album Mazarin is five times platinum as of February 2004 in Sweden. Only The World According To Gessle and Son of a Plumber are in English; the others are sung in Swedish. Per Gessle and Scener were re-released together with a demo album in 1992 as På Väg. In 1997 Hjärtats trakt - en samling was released, as a best-of album.

Per Gessle released his second English album called Son of a Plumber in November 2005. The album contains all of Gessle's musical heritage. His father was a plumber and the 2-disc album contains a song dedicated to him, Kurt - The Fastest Plumber In The West. On the album, some noted musicians, such as Clarence Öfwerman, Christoffer Lundqvist, Helena Josefsson, and Jens Jansson, partake. In Sweden, the album sold platinum on the first day of release. The album was also released in several other European countries in April 2006. In June 2007, he released another solo album in Swedish with the name En händig man, which shipped triple platinum.

Per Gessle is also one of three people (also including Björn Ulvaeus) who own NoteHeads, a Swedish company which publishes the music notation program Igor Engraver.[1]
