Career

Aron started his career as footballer in the Swedish fourth division football club Byttorps IF. In the club he met Måns Harvidsson, Nicklas "Savo" Savolainen, Andreas "AndyBarMaskinen" Reinholdsson and Rasmus "Salle" Sahlberg and became friends. In 2012 they founded the electro-hip hop group Albatraoz and shortly after signed with Sony Music Sweden.[3] On August 2, 2013, was released their debut single, the self-titled "Albatraoz".[4] The song reached thirty-six on the Swedish Singles Chart and remained on the chart for nineteen weeks.[5] "Albatraoz" was certified gold in Sweden.[6] In January 2014 the song reached 8.5 million plays on Spotify and the group toured to promote the song.[7] On April 18, 2014 the group released their second single, "Arriba", but the song did not chart.[8]

On August 8, 2014 he released his debut solo single, "I'm an Albatraoz",[9] featuring the vocals of his sister Nora Ekberg.[10] The song was originally in a hip hop style, but a second version with electronic beats was chosen.[11] The song reached number one in Sweden and Denmark and the top 10 in Germany, Austria, Norway, Finland, Australia and the Netherlands.
