Comment: Please read and understand our notability requirements. You need to show that you meet either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:MUSICBIO guideline. Currently there is no evidence of either.Similarly, read the policy relating to articles on living people, WP:BLP. In such articles, pretty much every statement you make must be clearly supported by inline citation to a reliable source. Which source gives this person's DOB? Or the fact that they live in Malmö? And who said that "his live shows are celebrated for their energy and improvisational elements"
? (If that's not a direct quote from an independent source, it's just peacockery which must be removed.)Last point: make sure you've read and understood WP:AUTOBIO, which explains why you shouldn't be writing about yourself in the first place. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:25, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
