About Tommy Nilsson

Erik Tommy Nilsson is a Swedish singer and songwriter. He represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, coming fourth. He is also a member of the rock group Easy Action. The group released two albums but a French producer, Yves Accary, contacted Nilsson and signed him to a French record company. This was a rock album, recorded in Stockholm and Los Angeles, but it did not sell very well and after two years of travelling between France and the United States, Nilsson decided to go back to Sweden.
