Alessandro Michele "Sandro" Cavazza (Italian pronunciation: [(ales)ˈsandro miˈkɛːle kaˈvattsa]; born 11 September 1992) is a Swedish singer-songwriter of Italian origin. Besides his solo career he was also a member of the pop group Estraden.
He names his musical influences as Eagle-Eye Cherry, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Westlife, ABBA, Max Martin, Bon Iver and Queen, in particular Freddie Mercury.[1]
Cavazza is well known as a good friend of the Swedish producer Avicii. They made two songs together ("Gonna Love Ya" and "Sunset Jesus") for Avicii's album Stories. Cavazza is also featured on "Without You" which was nominated for a Grammis in 2017. During a road-trip through America, Avicii and Cavazza wrote multiple songs together. After Avicii's death in 2018, only "Forever Yours" was released in 2020, after it was finished by Norwegian producer and DJ Kygo.
Despite his intention to retire as a performer after that, he has since featured on songs by other artists, including "All for Love" by Felix Jaehn (May 2023)[2], "Fade Away" from Kygo's fifth album Kygo (June 2024) and “Young Again” by Don Diablo (September 2024)
