Niklas Bergqvist (born 6 October 1962 in Stockholm), is a Swedishsongwriter, producer and musician. His career started in 1984, as a founding member of the Synthpop band Shanghai,[1] which he started along his school friends. The band released two albums and numerous singles, with their debut single "Ballerina", produced by former Europe guitarist Kee Marcello.[2]
Following the success of the single, the album also gained positive attention, resulting in the band touring around Sweden. The second, and final, studio album was produced by Swedish pop star Harpo.[3] After the band split-up in 1987, Bergqvist formed and played in several other bands until he decided to focus more on songwriting, resulting in several releases ever since.
