Brolle JR

Since Brolle Jr.'s father's name is also Kjell, his older sisters started calling him 'lillebror" (little brother), which eventually developed into Brolle Jr. Since then he has been called that, even in school. Nowadays he only calls himself "Brolle" in a musical context. Brolle has been on the Swedish music map since he was discovered in the Swedish version of the reality television franchise Popstars (2) in 2001.

Early in his career, Brolle's vocal and acting talents quickly gave him offers to do special theme shows, tours, and musicals like Footloose and Buddy Holly – the latter drawing an audience of over 170 000, watching Brolle headline as Buddy Holly himself.

Touring Sweden, he discovered that a lot of the classic countryside venues – the so called “folkparkerna" (the folk parks) – that he grew up with in his native Boden way up in the Swedish north, sadly had been abandoned and neglected in recent years.

The antidote was ”Rock 'n roll on tour” - a musical crusade with guest artists like Mikael Rickfors, The Boppers, Linda Gail Lewis and many more. For five years in a row they entered towns in vintage pink Cadillacs, and revived 25 of Sweden’s folk parks by bringing in milkshakes, chocolate wheels and rock’n’roll, drawing audiences in numbers not seen in 20+ years.

And just to prove that his rock’n’roll heart beats a little harder than most, in the autumn of 2017 Brolle took on the task to tell the story of not only one, but three icons – Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis - in one show, and eventually finding himself headlining the sold out success “Elvis, Cash, The Killer & me” at Göta Lejon in Stockholm.
