ABOUT

Albin Ormegard is a 25-year-old guitarist and composer from Sweden, currently based in Copenhagen. Growing up in Katrineholm, Södermanland, he developed a passion for music at an early age, thanks to the small town’s vibrant cultural community. During his teenage years, he mainly listened to rock, metal, and hip-hop, but was later introduced to jazz by the acclaimed saxophonist and local hero Nisse Sandström (1942–2021).

With an early commitment to his craft, he has pursued his passion for music through studies at Skurups Folkhögskola, the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and, as the first Scandinavian musician ever, a part of the prestigious Focusyear project at the Jazzcampus in Basel. There he shared the stage with major figures in the modern jazz circuit such as Kendrick Scott, Linda May Han Oh, Jorge Rossy, Aaron Parks, Becca Stevens, and Gilad Hekselman among others.

While establishing himself as a prominent musician on both Sweden's and Switzerlands jazz scene while still a student, he has become a sought after sideman on the European scene. During the past years he as performed with different groups in Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Croatia, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

Ormegard recorded his debut album - Look Up - in 2025 which is expected to be released spring 2026 on the Swiss record label Clap Your Hands.
