Tess biography

Tess Mattisson was born on the 13th of February 1978 in Stockholm. She grew up in Solna, in the North of Stockholm where she lived with her mother until she was 15 years old. Her exotic looks reveals her origin from India/Finland on her father's side and Belgium/Sweden on her mother's. She studied French language during 3 years. At the age of 15, Tess gave up her studies and got the opportunity to start dancing at different night-clubs all around Sweden. She also worked during daytime at the Sheraton Hotel. She took the chance since music and dance are her big passions. Tess taste of music is very broad and she gets off on anything from classical music to heavy house-techno. She hasn't set any goals in music business, but wants to live one day at a time.

To her merits one can count danceacts with Dr Alban, Rob'n Raz and Drömhus (Dreamhouse). She has also sung backup vocals and danced with Basic Element. Then in 1998 she became La Cream's voice. Their first single Château d´amour was released at Dr. Records / Arcade Music. The single became a hit and they decided to go on. The second single, You, was La Cream's first commercial hit and it sold Gold in both Sweden and Norway

'If you don't like the music you're doin, you can't do it with your heart. Then you can't perform it with the right feeling. When being out I although like a bit harder music and not euro that much. La Cream is dance music and I love dance.' Tess likes the current artists : 'I like Madonna. She's a great artist, who's done music for years. I like new Swedish artists like Markoolio, he's the funniest artist in the world. Antiloop is good. I listen to all kinds of music.'

In 2000, after about 160 shows with La Cream, Tess left the project. "It was a fantastic time", says Tess, who during these two years got the opportunity to go to a lot of interesting places and to meet a lot of exciting people. She released her first solo single, Justify My Love, which sounded just like La Cream's tracks, as it was composed and produced by Ari Lehtonen from La Cream. Tess' forthcoming album was composed and produced by  David Kreuger, Jörgen Elofsson, C&N Project, Juha Myllylä and Jorge Vasconcelo, who is the former member of La Cream.

On the 23rd of October she released her debut album.
