Gunther And The Sunshine Girls biography

Behind the name "Günther" stands Mats Söderlund from Malmö.

Günther is a parody of the 80's style and especially the German 80's. He's singing in English with a German accent. He wears a moustache, hair style of the 80's and nasty sunglasses. In the video to the disco hit Ding Dong Song he's tempting after the choir girls (The Sunshine Girls) and is singing with an excessively dark and erotical voice things like "Oh, you touch my Tralala". The song was an unbacked big hit and took the first place on the single chart. It also had some success abroad, reached #3 in Ireland and #8 in Norway.

In the begining of May 2004 the next song was released Teeny Weeny String Bikini, which already went #7.

According to Mats Söderlund, Günther is 29 years old and a bachelor. Mats himself is seven years older, married and has two children. Söderlund is known as a well known club owner and party fixer in Malmö and has worked internationally as a photographer's model. Günther and the Sunshine Girls are managed by former Warner Music A&R agent Henrik Uhlman, and are represented in the United States by prominent entertainment agent Mayar Zokaei.

For his third single, Günther re-released Touch me!, this time featuring the famous Samantha Fox. He turned right in to place 19 on the first week of the hit list "Tracks" in Swedish channel SR P3 in December. In French engineers schools parties, he had a lot of success.
