Life and Career[edit | edit source]

2020: Busking + Record Deal & 'September Love'[edit | edit source]

In July 2020, Anders was discovered by an XS Records executive while busking in Dublin. He subsequently signed a recording contract with the label, and on September 11, 2020, he released his debut single, 'September Love,' a self-written pop ballad. The single achieved mediocre success, charting at #6 and selling just over 100,000 copies.

2021: Debut Album[edit | edit source]

Following the disappointing sales of 'September Love', Anders travelled to Stockholm to work on material with Swedish record producer and songwriter Erik Lindström. The pair quickly built up a close friendship and wrote, and recorded, ten songs together. These songs were later released as Stop and Stare - Anders' debut album.

Stop and Stare album incorporates Lindström's signature Europop sound and was well-received upon release. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #3 on January 22, 2021, selling 110,046 copies in its first week of release. It peaked at #2 and to date is certified Gold, with sales in excess of 1,200,000 copies.

2022: 'Like U Used To' + ANDRS EP[edit | edit source]

In August 2022, Anders released his first EP, ANDRS. It was also announced that Anders was filming his own reality TV show, Chasing Anders: From Dublin to L.A.. The show documented Anders' attempts to break into the American music market. Both the ANDRS EP and its supporting single, 'Mi Casa Su Casa', reached number-one in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
