The Short Story
Erik Grönwall is a powerhouse rock vocalist whose explosive voice, emotional depth, and versatility have taken him from Swedish stages to arenas around the world. Known for his work with Skid Row, H.E.A.T, and guitar legend Michael Schenker, Erik has carved out a reputation as one of rock’s most electrifying and dynamic frontmen.
He first rose to fame as the winner of Swedish Idol, where his breakout performance of “18 and Life” became a defining moment and launched his career. He went on to lead the acclaimed Swedish rock band H.E.A.T, releasing six albums in total, delivering two of the band’s most celebrated albums and performing on major European festival stages. In 2022, Erik stepped in as the lead singer of Skid Row, contributing to the band’s resurgence and recording the albumThe Gang’s All Here. His work with Michael Schenker further showcased his vocal power and cemented his standing in the rock world.
Beyond the stage, Erik has built a massive global following through YouTube, where his interpretations and studio sessions have reached millions of viewers. His performances have earned him praise for their authenticity, raw emotion, and vocal precision.
Today, Erik is entering a new chapter. He is currently in the studio working on his first full-length solo album of original material, set for release in 2026. This marks a return to his roots as a songwriter and the beginning of a bold new artistic era.
With new music on the way, upcoming tours, and a rapidly growing global fanbase, Erik is more energized than ever. Whether on stage, in the studio, or through his online presence, he continues to evolve – pushing boundaries, exploring new creative territory, and delivering performances that leave a lasting impact.
Vocalist Erik Grönwall and songwriter/producer/multi-multi-instrumentalist Jona Tee, former bandmates in H.E.A.T., have announced that they are continuing their musical partnership by unleashing New Horizon, their new power metal brainchild.
The seeds of NEW HORIZON were planted in Jona’s youth given that he grew up listening to (and still loves) Iron Maiden, Helloween, Hammerfall, Manowar, Edguy, and the like. Heavy metal is in his blood and New Horizon is something that is flowing through his veins and extremely close to his heart. He always dreamed of releasing his own power metal anthems one day. When asked about the sound of New Horizon, Jona Tee describes it as "a mix between classic power and heavy metal, with a touch of the 21st century.”
“It felt so natural to continue working together. We have toured together pretty much all over the world and released music together for a decade. Jona is truly like my brother, by blood, and New Horizon will be the catalyst for us to release great metal together and just have fun,” says Grönwall.
Erik is one of the co-founders of the South African entertainment company Hitchat. Hitchat's mission is to empower people and create equal opportunities in disadvantaged areas with the most powerful and universal force on earth – music.
Hitchat is the leading entertainment company in emerging markets in Africa and create affordable on-the-ground and digital entertainment by finding, developing and launching acts within a unique T-pop concept.
