Profiles

Dirty loops hit me


Dirty Loops is a band from Stockholm, Sweden, made up of Jonah Nilsson (vocals and piano), Henrik Linder (bass) and Aron Mellergårdh (drums). Their arrangements are advanced stylistically, borrowing from jazz and jazz-fusion, gospel, funk, electronica, pop and disco as well as being at times instrumentally quite ambitious.

Background

All three of the band's members studied music at Södra Latin together. Nilsson studied classical theory while Linder and Mellergårdh studied jazz.

After upper secondary school, they attended the Royal College of Music in Stockholm together. Jonah Nilsson has also studied music at Bethel College in the US. Henrik Linder attended Adolf Fredrik Music School as a child.

Henrik Linder began his music career as a pianist at the age of four and bass at the age of 13.

Jonah Nilsson also started singing as a child, and his parents sang in the choir of Katarina Church, Stockholm. At the age of 11 he began playing piano. He appeared as a backing singer and played piano on Danny Saucedo's tour in 2005, the same year that Danny made his debut on the TV show Swedish Idol.

History

The band was formed in 2008 and released their first song in 2010. In February 2011, they signed a management contract with producer and songwriter Andreas Carlsson.

On 3 September 2011 the band backed Danny Saucedo at the Aftonbladet music gala, "Rockbjörnen".

Manager Andreas Carlsson has prioritised developing the band's brand. Above all, he has advised them to be careful what they upload and publish on the Internet. They have appeared in several television interviews but have not yet played in any TV shows.

Andreas Carlsson has helped the band to get a global record deal. In 2012, the band traveled to the U.S. to face several major music profiles, among others, singer Brian McKnight, drummer Simon Phillips and bassist Nathan East . Eventually they signed a record contract with world-renowned producer and record label director David Foster and Universal Music subsidiary Verve.

Debut album Loopified

Their debut album was released on April 16, 2014 in Japan, on 19 May in the UK, and on August 19 in the U.S..

David Foster and Andreas Carlsson

In late 2012 the band supported David Foster and Andreas Carlsson in Japan, China, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand for the "David Foster & Friends Tour." They played for tens of thousands of people during the tour. One highlight of the tour was when Jonah and Chaka Khan performed together as a duet.

Maroon 5 Tour 2015

The band opened for Maroon 5 during the Asia and Oceania legs of the tour in 2015.

The Maroon 5 World Tour 2015 was a worldwide concert tour by American band Maroon 5 in support of their fifth album V (2014). The tour was announced on September 2, 2014, and began on February 16, 2015. The tour took place in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania until October 2015.
