It has been an absolutely fantastic year with Samir & Viktor. Many probably thought we were a “one hit wonder” but we have always proved the opposite – we have released 16 singles, delivered Sweden’s summer hit year after year and participated in the Melodifestivalen three times. We have been number one on Spotify three times, not many Swedish artists have done so. Our songs have been streamed over 270 million times on Spotify, it’s completely crazy! But now it’s time to move on. I am training to be a broker and want to focus 100% on it
