Lars Mattias Winnerbäck (born October 19, 1975), is a Swedish singer and songwriter. He was born in Stockholm, but spent his childhood in Linköping, where he attended Katedralskolan. He moved back to Stockholm in 1996, the same year he released his first album, Dans med svåra steg (this one). He is now one of Sweden's most popular artists.
The influence of songwriters like Carl Michael Bellman, Evert Taube, Bob Dylan, Ulf Lundell and Cornelis Vreeswijk shines through in Winnerbäck's exclusively Swedish lyrics, which deals with shallowness, prejudice in society and hypocrisy in religion, as well as romance, relationships and anxiety. Several songs depict the difference between living in medium-size Linköping and metropolitan Stockholm.
