About Me

Mikael Mellberg have been making music under the name of Oh, dearest! since 2007.
Coming from the small city of VÃ¤nersborg, Sweden, he just recently moved to Paris in order to work full time on his solo-project.
Moving to Paris, from a city best known for being the most windy one in sweden, would mean a dramtic change for anyone, and the change in scenery has definately had an impact on the sound of this music.
The songs however are about everyday life, with an equal amout of poetry and genuine emotions and the sound of it is a mix of classic pop/folk-music and the urbanity of a city such as Paris. Great concern is always taken regarding the presentations of the songs, while the songs themselves are timeless pop music pieces.
Since this is the very first time this music is presented to anyone, no releases has yet been made, but songs have been recorded and some of them will be available here on myspace. The time will come for a bigger release, but until then you just sit tight.Cheers.
