He might not impress you with his height, but he will with his beautiful, original vocals. Listen to his songs, and he probably sounds like nothing you would expect.

Originally from Sweden, The Tallest Man on Earth (who is actually shorter than an average Swede) has amazed audiences around the world with his indie folk tunes.

His single ‘Love is all’ is close to hitting 20 million Spotify streams and most of his songs are featured on the major folk and ambient music playlists.
