Intro

Sandro Cavazza creates music that occupies the vibrant space between a lonely acoustic guitar and a massive festival stage. His sound is defined by a distinctively raspy, powerful vocal delivery that carries an inherent emotional weight, making even his most upbeat dance tracks feel deeply personal. It is the sound of modern Sweden: impeccably produced, melodically flawless, yet grounded in a raw, organic soulfulness.

What truly sets him apart is his ability to bridge the gap between the vulnerability of a singer-songwriter and the kinetic energy of electronic dance music. While his collaborations with Avicii brought him global recognition, his solo work reveals a penchant for warm analog synths and folk-inspired structures. There is a persistent sense of 'golden hour' in his arrangements, a bittersweet warmth that feels both celebratory and reflective.

Start with 'High With Somebody' to hear his knack for infectious, rhythmic pop, or dive into 'Without You' for the definitive example of his ability to anchor a massive electronic anthem with human grit. For those who prefer his quieter side, the acoustic version of 'Don't Hold Me' showcases the sheer texture of his voice without the electronic sheen.

Alessandro Michele "Sandro" Cavazza (Italian pronunciation: [(ales)ˈsandro miˈkɛːle kaˈvattsa]; born 11 September 1992) is a Swedish singer-songwriter of Italian origin. Besides his solo career he was also a member of the pop group Estraden. He names his musical influences as Eagle-Eye Cherry, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Westlife, ABBA, Max Martin, Bon Iver and Queen, in particular Freddie Mercury. Cavazza is well known as a good friend of the Swedish producer Avicii. They made two songs together ("Gonna Love Ya" and "Sunset Jesus") for Avicii's album Stories. Cavazza is also featured on "Without You" which was nominated for a Grammis in 2017. During a road-trip through America, Avicii and Cavazza wrote multiple songs together. After Avicii's death in 2018, only "Forever Yours" was released in 2020, after it was finished by Norwegian producer and DJ Kygo. Despite his intention to retire as a performer after that, he has since featured on songs by other artists, including "All for Love" by Felix Jaehn (May 2023), "Fade Away" from Kygo's fifth album Kygo (June 2024) and “Young Again” by Don Diablo (September 2024)
