Dan Hylander

Swedish singer/songwriter, guitarist and producer currently living in Riberalta, Bolivia.
Born and bred in the lovely city of Malmö he later moved to Stockholm.
DH had a highly successful career as an artist in the 80s and early 90s when he was
awarded with several gold and platinum albums in his native Sweden.
He was also awarded with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet's "Rockbjörnen" two years
in a row as Sweden's best artist by popular vote.
In 1987 he also toured Zambia and Zimbabwe in support of the ANC.
However, life on the road eventually lost some of it's attraction and in the late 90s he more or less gave up his career as an artist in favour of producing and songwriting.
He has since produced and written for several major swedish artist such as Totta Näslund
and Tomas Ledin.
In 2005 he also produced former Rockpile guitarist Billy Bremner's album "No Ifs, Buts,
Maybes".
In October 2007 DH moved to the Amazonas where he has started writing songs for his
first soloalbum in 15 years. He also brought a portable studio with him in order to be able
to do some recordings in the rainforest.
During a visit to Sweden in June -09 he recorded a new single with a temporarily reunited RMB, "Du är det vackraste" which for a variety of reasons wasn't released until August -10 but then became his first top-30 single since -84.
In November 2009 he returned to the road with a new 7 piece band featuring legendary
Swedish guitarist Janne Bark. The band, now named
"Orkester", has since made three more tours and completed the recording of "Den försenade mannen" ("The belated man") DH's first new album as an artist in 16 years. The first single from the album, Förr var det värre än nu" ("It used to be worse than now") will be released in mid January 2011 and the album is scheduled for release on the 16th of March 2011.
