Biography

Background Peter LeMarc was born in 1958 in the industrial town of Trollhättan, to parents May and Lennart. His middle name, Lenn-Marc (also spelled Lenmarc) was a compromise; his mother wanted his name to be Marcus, while his father prompted on the name Lennart.

At a young age, LeMarc discovered music through The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and other bands of the 1960s and 70s. In his teenage years, he played in a number of bands in the Trollhättan area. His father died of cancer in 1977, something LeMarc often returns to in his songs, such as "Jag ska gå hel ur det här", "Närmare gränsen" and "Drivved".

LeMarc moved to Gothenburg in 1979 and joined the band Box 81. In 1982 he moved to Stockholm. Soon after he released his debut album Buick. The record was well received in the press, but struggled to achieve commercial success. Two more albums met the same fate.

It was announced that he would perform his last concert at the Stockholm Music & Arts festival in August 2014.
