Although his only album to date, ...Och stora havet, was released in 1989, he is still well-known in his native country. The son of two teachers, Jakob Hellman grew up in rural north Sweden, just south of the polar circle. In school, he was in the same class as Zemya Hamilton, later to be known as the lead singer of house music act Clubland.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the lyrics of his first single, Hellman states that he was \"born between the mirror and the grammophone\" (\"född mellan spegeln och grammofon\"), attesting to his early pop star ambitions. At a young age, he played in a local band, Ampere, with his friends Anders Viklund, Ulf Johansson and Tommy Johansson. In a 2006 interview, the members recalled singing through a megaphone at the start, since they did not have a proper microphone. At the start, the only song they could play was Smoke on the Water. Later, Do You Wanna Dance? and The House of the Rising Sun were added to the repertoire.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJakob Hellman's family later moved to Falun, where he played with a band named Fortune. In the mid-1980s, Jakob Hellman moved to Stockholm.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Jakob+Hellman","playStationPath":"/stations/115178196/play","stationId":115178196,"bioPath":"/music/Jakob+Hellman/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Magnus+Carlson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/413/41319d3f259928419d395f675075384c_md.jpg","artistName":"Magnus Carlson","artistId":1759,"station_id":115451028},{"musicPath":"/music/Anna+Jarvinen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e0f/e0f553726618519c703c0860ff22a679_md.jpg","artistName":"Anna Järvinen","artistId":11777,"station_id":123988188},{"musicPath":"/music/Noice","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/459/459fe70ceaa1ba99d1e330b62aaacbe1_md.jpg","artistName":"Noice","artistId":580,"station_id":254295950},{"musicPath":"/music/Florence+Valentin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/363/363fc83220bcc0c8e2675f58f5e8a88c_md.jpg","artistName":"Florence Valentin","artistId":15193,"station_id":130472858},{"musicPath":"/music/Pugh+Rogefeldt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/95f/95f8a70e5c65e0086c6ed7d02b4c4f9b_md.jpg","artistName":"Pugh Rogefeldt","artistId":3630,"station_id":117255936},{"musicPath":"/music/Popsicle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b00/b0029e6891034153118361beb417b077_md.jpg","artistName":"Popsicle","artistId":614,"station_id":113285955},{"musicPath":"/music/bjorn+olsson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/46f/46fdb07accd646ffa1c9d39c660deeb3_md.jpg","artistName":"bjorn olsson","artistId":112516,"station_id":282360174},{"musicPath":"/music/Uno+Svenningsson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/be0/be01abe55682cdd7908fa0d6d8d3f4aa_md.jpg","artistName":"Uno Svenningsson","artistId":1623,"station_id":116570783},{"musicPath":"/music/Britta+Persson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/352/3527192eefa6daad995c600f34559a25_md.jpg","artistName":"Britta Persson","artistId":80197,"station_id":267757204},{"musicPath":"/music/Hoola+Bandoola+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a2d/a2de495ec5512a68f924187ff7e91854_md.jpg","artistName":"Hoola Bandoola Band","artistId":3624,"station_id":115641862},{"musicPath":"/music/Bjorn+Afzelius","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5d3/5d3db9c05eee575a7c7352b6c6471684_md.jpg","artistName":"Björn Afzelius","artistId":88775,"station_id":271126616},{"musicPath":"/music/Salem+al+Fakir","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/581/5815b69368a17e95eeccb3c9a224f7e5_md.jpg","artistName":"Salem al Fakir","artistId":80080,"station_id":267661178},{"musicPath":"/music/Fibes+Oh+Fibes+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fb5/fb5592d23958544c43804721577678f5_md.jpg","artistName":"Fibes, Oh Fibes!","artistId":80093,"station_id":267699196},{"musicPath":"/music/Di+Leva","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d79/d791f424d27873238a1e3571d9b3d700_md.jpg","artistName":"Di Leva","artistId":311,"station_id":114831650},{"musicPath":"/music/Lars+Demian","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b26/b26f2288e5f0f64da5f361d09e489055_md.jpg","artistName":"Lars Demian","artistId":2591,"station_id":114004827},{"musicPath":"/music/Vapnet","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/034/034f75b8baf4a43a47148f3331bebf43_md.jpg","artistName":"Vapnet","artistId":97687,"station_id":276809624},{"musicPath":"/music/Olle+Ljungstrom","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b51/b513ee60ac9e6941bf11a5f82c701bd2_md.jpg","artistName":"Olle Ljungström","artistId":586,"station_id":114570285},{"musicPath":"/music/Marit+Bergman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0c5/0c5caa2d737d3b781d3797a220559422_md.jpg","artistName":"Marit Bergman","artistId":10179,"station_id":114149470}]}
