After earning their respective music degrees at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, all three worked as session musicians. It wasn’t until 2008 that they decided to form Dirty Loops as an outlet to express their own genre-bending style of pop music. Their arrangements borrow from jazz and jazz fusion, gospel, funk, electronica, pop, and disco. Initially, they recorded and posted several cover songs, catching the attention of music manager Andreas Carlsson, who helped the band build their audience and eventually sign a record deal with producer David Foster and Verve. In 2014, Dirty Loops released their debut full-length album, Loopified, followed by three more.<\/p>\n
Jonah’s musical journey began when he sang in the choir at the Katarina Church in Stockholm. He also started learning the double bass at age eight, but quickly made a switch to piano lessons in classical music at age 11. In his final year at high school, he switched over to jazz piano studies. He attended various music schools, including the Royal Music Academy in Stockholm.
\nHenrik Linder started playing piano at age 4. When he was around 12 years old, a girl he had a crush on told him that bass was the “sexiest instrument”. Later on, at 13 years old, Linder switched to bass guitar. One of his first childhood bass idols was Gary Willis, who would become one of his greatest influences. At age 16, Linder was already a busy Stockholm session musician and played with many different groups.<\/p>\n
Aron Mellerg\u00e5rd grew up in Gislaved Sweden where he was inspired to learn to play the drums from a musical family. He met future Dirty Loops bandmates Jonah Nilsson and Henrik Linder at S\u00f6dra Latin, a secondary school in Stockholm. He then attended the Royal College of Music in Stockholm before committing to Dirty Loops.
