Biography
David Nilsson & The Bon Vivants – formed by David Nilsson together with original members Mattias Timan and Jesper Madsen. The band are quickly establishing themselves as one of Sweden’s most compelling international new acts. Blending emotionally charged lyrics with a powerful, dynamic sound, the band is fronted by David Nilsson, whose rich voice has earned comparisons to legends like Roy Orbison and praise from industry icons like Neil Sedaka, Meat Loaf, and BBC Radio 2’s Johnnie Walker.
Their dedicated fanbase is growing fast. With over 27 million views on YouTube, 50,000+ subscribers, 450,000+ Spotify streams, and a strong social media presence, the band is building real momentum.
Their music has received consistent radio airplay across Sweden, including on Radio P4. Tracks like Prison, Tack För Allt, and Friday Again have been in steady rotation over the past two years.
In 2025, the band released their debut album, Stop The Train, followed by a nationwide tour that brought their powerful live show to concert halls and music venues across Sweden—including Trollhättan, Härnösand, Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Vara Concert Hall. Their growing reputation has also taken them beyond Sweden’s borders, with performances in Oslo, Norway and Zürich, Switzerland adding to their international momentum. The tour drew audiences from around the world, with fans flying in from the U.S., Brazil, South Africa, Poland, Denmark, and the UK to catch the band live.

Quotes from the music industry
Meat Loaf, about David’s version of ‘Two out of three ain’t bad’
“Loved David Nilsson, what was that song you played, the best thing I’ve heard in ages.”
Johnnie Walker, BBC Radio 2
Neil Sedaka
“Det här är personligt, går rakt in i hjärtat, som att få läsa någons dagbok och stundvis rör sig alltihopa där uppe med Mellencamp och Springsteen. Största favoriten för mig är “Prison”. Den är för Ullevi med jättepublik. Där rivs alla murar mellan lyssnare och sändare.”
Eva Eastwood, about ‘Stop The Train’ album
