Basshunter's Jonas Altberg is one of the biggest commercial dance artists in the world right now and he has announced a live stage show at Sunderland Passion on Saturday 20th March.

Jonas Erik Altberg, better known by the pseudonym Basshunter, is a Swedish producer and singer-songwriter. Born on 22 December 1984 in Sweden. He started to produce music under the stage name 'Basshunter' in 2002 with the computer program Fruity Loops, and released his first albums, 'The Old Shit' (2002) and 'The Bassmachine' (2004), through his own web site, and began working as a DJ. In April 2006, he signed with Warner Music, releasing his first single, 'Boten Anna'. In Scandinavia, the song became a hit instantly and was the first ever Swedish language song to reach number one on the Dutch Top 40 Chart. In 2007, Altberg released a recording titled 'Now You're Gone', featuring entirely rewritten lyrics to appeal to a foreign market. The song charted at number one on the UK Singles Chart and stayed there for 4 weeks.

Throughout 2007 Basshunter worked on a new album, Now You're Gone: The Album, which was released in July 2008. Five singles were released from this album (Now You're Gone, All I Ever Wanted, Angel in the Night, I Miss You, and Walk on Water). He has recently brought out another single 'I promised Myself', which was released the 30th November 2009.

Altberg recently became one of the latest contestants in Celebrity Big Brother (UK) and entered the house on the 3rd January 2010. He came fourth.

His fifth studio album, 'Bass Generation' was released on 28 September 2009 with its lead single 'Every Morning'.
