Determination
"I would say that I am a songwriter first and foremost," the 24-year-old Swede explains after the show last month, before changing his mind. "I am more like a composer, in the sense that I don't sing myself. I don't play guitar or piano ... but I write the melodies. I know exactly how I want the guitar to sound. I know what notes. I know what kind of timbre I want, I know how I want the pronunciation.”
