Bio
Tomas de Souza
Martin is one of the few who has the ability to connect ongoing trends to underlying human needs and describe it in a way that make things understandable. He is a true curator and with a sincere interest in the world and people around him. I have not been able to convince Martin to work with me yet, but have had the privilege to share great discussions and also experienced the result of his work at The Conference.

Songs I Wish I Wad Written is a Swedish music label established 2005 with the ambitions to be modern, embrace the technology and always dare to try new ideas. Moto boy, The LK, Gentle touch, Le sport, Regina & Unarmed enemies make us pass out, dance and think. They are our definition of great pop music.
