Basshunter first went to Kattegattgymnasiet secondary school, a technical school. However, he moved to Sturegymnasiet secondary school in Halmstad to study music.[7] He also attended college but did not complete his program.[6]

In 1998,[8] he started singing in a choir run by his mother which birthed his passion for singing.[9] He also sang in a rock band[10] where he became acquainted with experimental music.[11]

Career[edit]

Altberg began producing music under the stage name 'Basshunter' as a reference to his musical style in 2001,[8] after six months of using FruityLoops (currently FL Studio).[12]

Musical style and live performances[edit]

Basshunter defines his music as eurodance.[123] He says his music is cheerful, full of energy and very melodic, stating that it does not sound like other types of music, and adding that producers and artists display their own identity in their works. He feels he is passionate about basslines as a musician and uses them in his music. He added: 'If you listen to a song on the radio, you can definitely tell whose music it is. When you listen to my music, you can tell it is Basshunter.'[124]

As influences, he mentions listening to DJ Balloon,[125] Rocco and bands Warp Brothers[18] and Snap!.[125] He also listened to many underground tracks that had never been released, or had not been widely known by the general public[9] as well as German and Dutch techno music,[126]reggae, funk and blues music, particularly music of Ray Charles.[127] The first release he bought was a single 'The Way' by Fastball in the 1990s.[128]

The first computer he used was Atari ST.[115] After achieving commercial success, he bought software to produce his music. He also contemplated creating video blogs rather than just online uploads.[129] About 95% of his music is created with digital audio workstations, including FL Studio, Logic Pro,[6]Logic Studio,[130]Pro Tools, Cubase,[10] and Virtual Studio Technology plugins.[129] He also plays the guitar.[127]

Basshunter considers his fan base very important for his career[18] and knows that many of his non-Scandinavian fans actually prefer his songs in Swedish.[125] Writing in English may be an advantage for reaching international audiences,[124] but he has also said that he likes the challenge of writing songs in English.[129]

Basshunter tried to present his live performances as improvisations. He performed at many festivals including Elämä Lapselle (2006),[131] Hity Na Czasie[132][133] twice in 2007[134][135] and 2009,[136] Youth Beatz (2011),[137]Allsång på Skansen (2012),[138] Hull Pride (2012),[139] Stoke Live (2012),[140]Nottingham Pride (2012),[141] Europa Plus Live (2013),[142] Emmabodafestivalen (2014),[143] and Nallikari Summer Party (2014).[144]

In 2006, Basshunter performed during the Norway Cup.[145] In 2009, he performed during the New Year's Eve party for the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and his family.[146] He appeared on BBC Switch Live (2008)[147] and in 2014 performed on Sochi Medals Plaza during the awards ceremony of Winter Olympic Games.[148] Basshunter performed at many tours like Bass Generation Tour (2009),[149] New Zealand Tour (2009),[150] Dance Nation Tour (2009[151] and 2010[152]), Calling Time (2013),[153] and UK/Ireland Tour 2015.[154]

Personal life[edit]

Basshunter is a fan of video games[155] and guitars.[156] His mother, Gunn-Hild Altberg, died in 2016.[157]

During his time on the reality showCelebrity Big Brother he was in an intimate relationship with Ekaterina Ivanova.[158] After being a couple for three years, Basshunter married Tina Makhia Khayatsadeh on 19 January 2017. The wedding took place in the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club in the presence of singers Arash and Margaret, Jan Thesleff, Sweden's ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, and Jonas Siljemark, the chief executive officer of Warner Music Sweden, his manager Henrik Uhlmann and Basshunter's brother Joakim.[159]

On 10 December 2010, Basshunter was charged by Fife Constabulary over a sexual assault allegation on two female fans during a party at a nightclub in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. He was released on bail. His manager insisted at the time that the allegations were 'totally untrue'.[160] Basshunter pled not guilty to two charges of sexual assault against the two women at the hearing at the town's Sheriff court on 12 January 2011.[161] On 14 June 2011, he was found not guilty with the sheriff describing the two accusers as 'neither credible nor reliable'[162] and their testimony as 'riddled with inconsistencies and improbabilities'.[163]
