Anders Jalkéus

Anders Jalkéus (born 1962 and raised in Tyresö, south of Stockholm) is a classical bass vocalist.

Jalkéus was introduced to folk music at an early age by parents with a great interest in music. Jalkéus started to learn violin and piano at the age of 6, and was accepted to Adolf Fredriks school of Music as a 10 year old, a school that has a strong focus on choral singing. After that he continued his studies at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm for nine years where he and four fellow-students formed an a cappella quintet, The Real Group. The final two years, the studies were performed together with the other Real Group members on a specially designed post graduate course resulting in a diploma of the highest degree. Except for the group, Jalkéus has a degree in classical solo singing, in playing the church organ, in conducting choir, and in Music Education. Anders Jalkéus has written songs and arrangements of well known standards for The Real Group. From 1989 he has been a full time singer performing with The Real Group in more than 40 countries and recorded 15 albums, a couple of which he has also produced.
