Günther

Let's talk about My hero... His true name is Mats Söderlund. He is a Swedish model who started to sing in 2004 under the stage name “Günther”. In 2004, he made his first album “Pleasure Man” with his band called “The Sunshine Girls”.

Günther wants to change the world to look at the sexual way of thinking. A kind of "Günther trend" was born. He has just started his mission to go out in the world and spread the message of Love. The four main things in Günther's philisophy are Champagne, Glamour, Sex and Respect ! Günther parodies in his songs German songs of the 8O's with his small mustache and his particular haircut. In his clip you can see a lot of Swedish models.Maybe that is why Günther is so much successful…

In Sweden he is one of the most famous singers (he represented Sweden for the Eurovision: the European Song Contest). Moreover it's through Internet that Europe discovered him with the well-known clip “Ding Dong Song” and its swinging chorus “You touch my Tralala” .

Then teenagers began copying Gunther’s lifestyle. They created many fan clubs and all agree that he is one of sexiest mans of the showbiz with his short mustache, his long hair and beautiful sunglasses. He made a website, www.gunthernet.com where the fans can download pictures of him, his most famous songs or buy the uncensored clips.Gunther developed his own clothing brand too and all his fans have their Gunther T-shirts to go dancing in nightclubs. He became a reference in the modern music industry and nowadays it's a shame to don't know Günther's songs for a normal teenager. Günther is actually making a second album after the success of “Pleasureman”, his first one.

I chose Günther as my hero for several reasons: I haven't any role model or hero but I think it's stupid to live another people's life and each one must live his own life. I totally agree to admire some people who did great things for peace or ecology, but they were already all honored on the Myhero website. I like Gunther music and his clips and his way of spreading peace and love around the world with his fake philosophy based on “champagne, love sex and respect”. He didn't do anything particular for the world but, trought his way of thinking I would like people to recognize his music and laugh a bit in this sad world.
