Swedish Music Export Prize

In January 2000, Cheiron Productions’ songwriters and producers were awarded the Music Export Prize by the Swedish Government.

The 1999 prize for outstanding achievements for Swedish music exports is awarded to Cheiron Productions’ producers and songwriters. Cheiron write and produce music for global artists such as Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, N’Sync and Céline Dion.

The jury gives the following reasons for its choice:
”At certain points in history, a specific place can exude an energy and creativity that somehow give that period a voice. Examples include Tin Pan Alley and the Brill Building in New York and Tamla Motown. And everyone is surely aware that right now there is a specific place in Sweden that has given an overwhelming voice to the times. All over the world. A place where new global stars are created and that attracts established artists to its magic.”

The 1999 Music Export Prize goes to Cheiron Productions’ producers and songwriters: Rami, Kristian Lundin, Jake, David Kreuger, Per Magnusson, Jörgen Elofsson, Andreas Carlsson and last, but not least, Max Martin.
