The Swedish Phenom Invades The U.S.
21 year old Erik Hassle is my favorite upcoming singer right now. The Swedish native trained at the same music school as Grammy award winning singer, Robyn. At times he reminds me of Adam Levine from Maroon 5 and other times he has hints of Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic.
No matter who you compare him to his voice is undeniable and his image is unique. The light skinned, red haired Shaun White look alike has the pipes of an experienced soul singer. His first single "Hurtful" has had moderate success in his native country and peaked at #2 in Denmark. The single was featured for a week on iTunes' free single giveaway in which many people, including me, had the chance to discover Erik. Somehow his album has not yet broke through in any major market, but Hassle is poised for stardom.
