ABOUT ME

 

I was born in Vadstena, Sweden as the youngest daughter of Göran and Kerstin Lekander. I have three elderly sisters - Eva-Lotta, Cristina and Catharina Lekander.


My interest in both music and painting was shown early of age when me and my sisters performed at home and put together our own shows in which we both sang and danced.


I also sketched and painted as soon as I got home from school.

 

When I was about 12 years old two of my sisters and I started up a singing group with the name Lekander Sisters and during our entire childhood we performed on many occasions after school and we also participated in several talent competitions in weekends.


We loved to be on stage and our voices sounded great together when we sang in harmony.

 

In 1985 we changed our name to Bel Air and participated in the Swedish Song Contest with the song "1 + 1 = 2" (written by Christer Bjärehag and Ingela Pling Forsman).


We didn`t make it to the finale but we had so much fun performing our song in the competition in Malmö.


I work full time as an administrator in economy and on free time I work mostly with my music.


I really like the process of being involved in something creative - although it is time consuming - but to write music and lyrics and create my own sound is simply what I love to do.
