Already as a child, Anderz passion for music, performing and songwriting has been the main thing in life. He started up playing the guitar at the age of seven after hearing dad's vinyl with Diana Ross and the Supremes.
Some years later he began to take piano lessons and started to write songs with his older sister Elin. He soon had his first live show at the local music school in Vellinge, South Sweden where Anderz is born and raised.
A couple of years later Anderz started up his first band, playing melodic hard rock and they soon won the attention from the local media with their own composed songs and powerful live shows. Later he also started to produce and write pop and dance songs and found a new way of creating music beyond his rock band. At the age of 16 Anderz formed a new band with a more funky pop sound, Mighty Nice and got his first record deal and released one album in Sweden and Japan.
After graduating from the Malmoe Academy of Music, where Wrethov had studied guitar, piano and song, he got his first break-through as a producer and songwriter. Wrethov began his international career, with several hit songs in Scandinavia, UK and Germany as a result. Later, Wrethov also established his name in Japan and South Korea by writing for the biggest J and K-pop stars, generating huge record sales and earning him several gold and platinum awards.
