Popularity has a huge responsibility, and Bosson is well aware of this. And at least the singer knows how to win attention and earn recognition from the general public.
He does not strive for the level of popularity that his famous compatriots from the ABBA group have won. Its main goal is free creativity.
The history of the creation of the creative pseudonym Staffan Allson
His real name is Staffan Olson, he was born more than half a century ago - February 21, 1969. The singer does not like to complicate simple things, so he did not think long about his stage name.
His father is Bo, if you translate Bosson, you get the son of Bo. This is a kind of recognition of the contribution that the father made to his upbringing, and the search for his own path.
A few facts about the artist's childhood
According to the singer himself, Bosson's childhood was happy. Parents treated him and his sister Sia with love and respect, supported in any endeavors, so that the children could understand what they really want to achieve in this life.
Such a line of education is a huge rarity. And Bosson appreciates every little contribution that his parents made to his musical career.
On the singer's Instagram, you can see many thank-you posts dedicated to his father and mother.
Under their strict guidance, he learned to keep the right balance between freedom of action and generally accepted moral standards, to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong.
The love of music entered Allson's life with his maternal grandfather. In one of the interviews, the singer mentioned that in his mother's family they played various instruments.
Grandfather brought him various records, turned on music and talked about the work of famous and emerging performers.
On Allson's 12th birthday, his grandfather gave him a guitar. It was the first musical instrument that Bosson learned to play.
However, the singer experienced an incredible feeling and delight from his presence on the big stage much earlier. When the boy was 6 years old, he took part in a Christmas competition.
The further path to fame was through talented musical parodies of famous world pop stars.
The start of the artist's musical career
After leaving school, Allson and his friends organized the musical group Elevate. The guys held their first concerts in the open air, in the subway, in local eateries.
Thanks to the victory at the national competition, the guys made their first studio recording with real professionals. Their first album was distributed throughout Europe. Then proposals began to come in about organizing a tour.
In 1996, Allson seriously thought about a solo career. His healthy ambitions required the attention of the public, the desire to share success with the team was not for him. The singer left the group and went into independent work.

Debut album and compositions
The debut album The Right Time was released in 1999.
A creative "breakthrough", and with it the recognition of a multi-million audience, occurred with the release of the album One in a Million.
The composition of the same name (the main hit of the album) was included in the musical accompaniment of the film "Miss Congeniality" with Sandra Bullock in the title role. Bosson was nominated for a Golden Globe as a performer.
The singer always aspired to sing live, but the pedantic Germans taught him to use a phonogram. Visiting Germany with concerts and participating in local TV shows, he was forced to perform his songs to the soundtrack.
Thanks to the single We Live, Bosson gained recognition and love from American listeners, as well as the song Where Are You? that followed him.
Bosson rarely released albums, but aptly, putting his soul and talent into each composition, revealing himself and his inner world.
The individualism of the singer manifested itself in his work. Bosson independently wrote the lyrics of his songs, music, produced technical sound recording at his own studio, created arrangements, produced his albums and hits.

The philosophy of the artist today
