Waldemaar is the creation of Swedish author & journalist Martin Bengtsson. The story begins at a hospital in Milan where his first songs were written in 2005. In the coming years, Waldemaar was developed through experiences in therapy, writing and travel. In 2008, Waldemaar moved to Berlin and shortly after played his first show in the German capital at Schokoladen at an event hosted by Lady Gaby. A journey had started. By this stage, the name Waldemaar had just been created. A combination of letters that hides another name. In summer 2009, the EP Press-Down-Hold was released and shortly after a music video came out of the song The Bohemian directed by Winta Yohannes.The EP was followed by shows in Berlin, Sweden & Norway before Waldemaar went to New York where he began work on his upcoming album.
