About

Steffen Brandt (born 14 June 1953 in Åbyhøj, Aarhus) is the lead singer and principal songwriter of the Danish rock band TV-2, which he co-founded in 1981. He has written both the lyrics and music for all of the band's songs, and his ironic, satirical observations about Danish middle-class life have made him one of the most celebrated figures in Danish popular music. TV-2 have sold over two million records, placing them among the most commercially successful Danish bands of all time. Brandt received the Danish Arts Foundation's lifetime honorary grant in 2016 and has also been awarded the Modersmål language prize (2003).
