The 80..s. Became a member of the band Strasse and made his first record with Ultravox singer, Midge Ure as the producer. A few years later he started the band Attaboy, signed with WEA and had a hit in Sweden with the song “Land of glory”. The band toured around Sweden and got a reputation as a really good liveband.The 90..s. Mats starts working as a solo artist. Through a friend he gets in contact with a manager in Paris, they sign a deal and Mats and his band starts to record in Studio De La Grand Armee at Champs Elysee. He signs a record deal but the project felt like “mission impossible” It was at that time really hard for a Swedish artist singing in English in France. The rest in history. In -95 he sings with Cecilia Vennersten in a musical called “The cradle will rock” at Göteborgs operan. A couple of years later Westling signs a contract with the Swedish label Lionheart Records. The song “In the garden” became a hit and Westling did a lot of TV and radio shows around Sweden. Mats starts at this time to write for other artists, one of them is Jill Johnson with who he sang in the final of Eurovision song contest -98. In the end of -98 Mats signs with a new record company, this time it..s Universal Sweden. He records an album and they release it in January -2000. One of the tracks “Mama” is in the film “Zingo” (with the actor Björn Kjellman).2000. Now it’s time to do things his own way. Mats starts his own record company and in 03/-04 he records a new album called 13 rätt, this is his first album with Swedish lyrics. The songs “Saga utan slut” and “Osårbara” (the duette with Agneta Sjödin) climbed at Top 20 at P4, riksradion for over six month. 13 rätt was released in February 2005, Westling did promotion, tv, radio and a tour.At the moment Mats Westling is in the studio working with the next album, and will be released in January -08.
