WHO AM I
Greetings, music enthusiasts! Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Peter Björkman, a Swedish songwriter and producer hailing from the vibrant city of Stockholm. I release music under the artist’s name Vydoo.
From an early age, I embarked on a melodic journey by taking piano lessons. As a rebellious teenager though, I couldn’t resist the allure of drums (seriously, they’re the coolest instrument, right?). Alongside my musical exploration, I even had the exhilarating experience of playing in bands and hearing our tunes grace the airwaves. Although I may not boast virtuosity on the piano or drums, I’ve gathered enough skill to navigate the realms of songwriting and production.
However, amid my musical endeavors, another passion began to captivate me — technology, particularly software. I found myself irresistibly drawn to its complexities and possibilities, leading me down a path towards a career in the software industry. It was this very path that ultimately paved the way for me, a couple of years ago, to take the leap and pursue music professionally — or should I say, semi-professionally. You see, music has always held a special place in my heart, accompanying me as a faithful companion throughout my life. I’ve spent countless hours crafting melodies, penning songs, and, at one point, even delving into the realm of a half-finished musical.
So, here I am — combining my passion for music, my penchant for technology, and my unwavering dedication to refining my skills. With every beat, every chord, and every harmonious arrangement, I strive to create a sonic experience that resonates with my audience.
WHAT INSPIRES MY MUSIC
My inspirations are as diverse as the colors of a vibrant kaleidoscope. When it comes to music, I find myself drawn to every nook and cranny of the sonic spectrum. My playlists? Well, they’re a treasure trove of eclectic genres and styles that’ll make your head spin with delight.
The music I create knows no boundaries — it traverses genres with ease, embracing the pulsating beats of contemporary dance, the infectious groove of feelgood nu-disco, and the futuristic allure of future bass. But I also indulge in the rich tapestry of 80s and 90s-inspired pop, adding a touch of nostalgic magic to the mix. It’s a multi-genre extravaganza that keeps my creative fire burning.
While pop music holds a special place in my heart, its endless possibilities are what truly captivate me. Pop can be a splendid fusion of electronic wonders or a soulful, acoustic affair. The magic lies in the seamless blend of the two. This is where my musical prowess comes into play, allowing me to experiment with a vast array of instruments and sonic landscapes. The possibilities are endless, and it’s a playground of sound that I can’t resist exploring.
At the end of the day though, I will always make music that I enjoy listening to myself, regardless of the style or genre. Hopefully other people will enjoy it too.
Now, when it comes to crafting lyrics and vocal performances, I happily collaborate with an incredible lineup of artists and singer-songwriters from the UK, US, and Sweden.
All my released music is available on Spotify, Apple Music and other major streaming services, as well as on SoundCloud. You’ll find the links to these on the top of the page.
