Niels Jensen (1): Swedish punkrocker, later new wave and "pretty teen angst ikon". Born in Denmark. Grew up in Lund, Sweden and later moved to Stockholm. Unlikely teenage hero in teen mags, atleast considering his rather strange music straying between avant garde pop electronica and at his most accessible some kind of the Cure-like dark romanticism. Some of his fame propably was thanks to his good looks and photogenique apperance and narcissict approach suiting the contemporary and very popular new romantic scene.
Acted and performed in the swedish cult movie "G - som i Gemenskap" as keyboardplayer/creative front figure in the fictive band Barn (eng. "Children", aka Barn i Bredäng).
Wrote songs for several swedish popstars in the eighties and collaborated with Dan Tillberg (who also produced Niels' early albums) among others. In time Niels began to produce and direct music videos. In the late nineties he wrote songs for new pop star Martin produced his first album.
Presently works mainly as an artist (painter) and music video director, still resident in Stockholm.

Vildkatt
The Great Sightseeing Tour
