Both founders have worked for more than 20 years as music producers and songwriters, scoring several number-one singles in UK, and working with artists such as Westlife, Kelly Clarkson, Diana Ross and Il Divo to name a few. The group has a music studio complex in Stockholm from where it supports over 100 music creators spanning from the US to Hong Kong and South America, focusing on a broad range of genres such as jazz, relaxation, acoustic, dance, rock and classical.

Vinge’s team consisted mainly of Jonas Johansson, Maria Dahlin Kolvik, Carl Fredrik Wachtmeister and Linnea Petersson (M&A) as well as Viktoria Owetz Leyva and Ellinor Gyllenhammar (VDR Specialists).
