Viktor Jakob-Jonsson

Hailing from Vilhelmina, a beautiful town in northern Sweden’s Lapland region, Viktor Jakob-Jonsson now resides in Stockholm with his wife Jana and newborn son Benjamin. Music has always been a strong passion in his life and in many ways, this was to be expected, being the youngest in a big and musical family with the town’s music teacher as father.

Early introduced to Westcoast music by his older brothers, he found the center of his musical universe early on. Having started out on saxophone only to realize that he had more in common with a mallard than with Michael Brecker, he quickly switched gears to piano. Playing chords opened up a whole new world of possibilities as to what he could do with the melodies he kept hearing in his head. Through songwriting, he found his way of approaching music.

Viktor is the singer of Swedish pop trio Stalon and is constantly working on a new song in his suburban cellar studio. During the covid-19 pandemic of 2020, he decided to start releasing songs in his own name. On November 26th, he’ll follow up the debut single "A Little Denial" with the song "Monotony" – a duet featuring Bill Champlin (Chicago, Sons of Champlin, solo artist, session giant, Grammy winner, etc).
"Had I known this when I was 11 and taped home-made posters of Bill all over my room, I probably would’ve fainted", Viktor says.
