Christer Samuel Björkman (born 25 August 1957 in Borås, Sweden) is a Swedish singer.[1] He was a hairdresser, and had a hair-salon in Borås. He started his career by recording a song called "Våga och vinn" which was produced by Bruno Glenmark in the mid-1980s.
He won Melodifestivalen 1992 with "I morgon är en annan dag", and represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. He finished second last, Sweden's worst result at the contest since 1977. He entered Melodifestivalen a second and third time in 1993 with Välkommen till livet and 1999 with a song called "Välkommen hem" which finished last among the ten participants.
He is now supervisor of Melodifestivalen, a post he has held since 2002. He was recently[when?] accused of manipulation of the jury which chooses the participating songs.[2]
He was the Show Producer of the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 held in Malmö, Sweden after Loreen's victory in Baku in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.[3] He has acted as a juror on the national selections of other countries,[4] and will have a prominent role as Contest Producer in the organisation of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 to be held in Stockholm[5] following Måns Zelmerlöws victory in 2015.
