Markus Fagervall was born in the Northern part of Sweden
in a small town called Kiruna more known
as the hometown of the world famous “Ice Hotel”.
Later, his family moved to an even smaller
place named Övertorneå next to the boarder
to Finland.
He was a big fan of Ice Hockey, spending almost
any free time he had on the ice and became
a big star in his team and also for the region of
Norrland (The northern part of Sweden).
He actually played in a big tournament for the youth
in Sweden named Tv-Pucken. (Basically
TV-Puck) where great names as Peter Forsberg,
Mats Sundin and Börje Salming all played
in when they where young and promising.
After a while, growing up to become a young man, as many
Others, he found out that music and girls where
more fun than sports. So he traded his Hockey
gear for an old guitar and started to practice.
Soon afterwards, he started his first band called “Liquid
Scarlet”. They toured around Sweden and parts of
Europe but didn’t really get the breakthrough they
wanted.
One late night in Stockholm, as a bet to a friend, Markus decided to
wake up early and go to the Swedish idol auditions. The rest is
history. He was a smash on the show, loved by audiences of all ages.
On his “Idol Winner tour” he had more than 120
shows in 8 months and played on the biggest stages in Sweden.
After an intense fall of 2006, followed by winter,
spring and summer of 2007, he took some time
off and wrote new songs and got back the creative musical inspiration.
“If You Don't Mean It” is written by Carl Falk,
Dirdrik Thott and Chris Braide and is at the
moment number 5 on iTunes and 16 on the
Swedish single chart.
The album is scheduled to be released October 15Th- 2008 and is
produced by Patrik Berger (Robyn, Hilary Duff,
Michael Bolton)
Markus is one of the stars in the show “Stars
on Ice” that air’s for the first time in Sweden,
Saturday October the 4th 2008
He is also booked in several big TV shows in
the upcoming months.
