The Popsiq story

Popsiq came together in mid-2006. The group consists of Frida Olsson and Jonas Hansson. They are both from Gothenburg, Sweden. The story behind Popsiq is amazing… It all started with Jonas and a friend, Robert playing together in a rockband. They wanted to write a summer song, a real pop song that people could dance to. They contacted Frida, whom they knew from earlier musical collaborations. Frida wrote a lyric for the song, and the lead melody.

They recorded a demo of “You’re Not The One” at Jonas’ home studio, and they knew they had a hit on their hands! Later, while Jonas was at his day job as a telemarketer, he placed a routine sales call. Coincidentally, that call was to producer Chriz Macel (Måns Zelmerlöw, Bosson etc.). The call didn’t lead to any sales, but they set up a meeting to listen to the new summer hit. In the end, Chriz liked what he heard, and a collaboration began ….
