Bosson (born Staffan Erik Olsson 21 February 1975) is a Swedish
singer-songwriter. He first gained nationwide fame in Sweden
when he imitated Michael Jackson in the first season of Sikta
mot stjärnorna, performing Black or White and winning his semi-final.
His big break as a solo artist came when composing and performing
the song "One
in a Million" from the album One in a Million which became a Top 10 hit in Europe and Asia
in 2000 and 2001, which also appeared in the movie Miss Congeniality.
He wrote it to his then girlfriend Jessica Olérs, Miss Sweden
1998, and was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Two years later the successful follow-up Rockstar was released, and in June 2007
he released his fourth album Future's Gone Tomorrow / Life Is Here
Today. He served as an opening act for Britney Spears during her
tour in 2000, and has toured with Kylie Minogue. He has also written
songs for Amy Grant and the famous guitarist Al Di Meola. As well
as in his native Sweden, Bosson has achieved huge success and toured
extensively in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
He also performed with Dima Bilan (a very popular Russian singer
and winner of Eurovision Song Contest 2008 for Russia).
His stage name comes from the fact that his father's
first name is Bo - hence he is Bo's son.
