He started singing very early. He took part in Talang 2009, the third season of the show on Swedish TV4 television channel. He reached semifinal 3 in singing category and was picked as a wildcard for the final. The series was won by magician Charlie Caper.

In 2009, he released his debut album Inifrån on Columbia Records singing contemporary cover versions of Swedish songs like "Tro" (Marie Fredriksson), "Ingen kan älska som vi" (Krister Linder), "Utan dina andetag" (Kent), "Kom änglar" (Lars Winnerbäck), "Miraklet" (Di Leva), "Ängeln i rummet" (Eva Dahlgren) and "För kärlekens skull" (Ted Gärdestad).
