Ulf Ekberg, one of the founding members of Ace of Base along with Jonas, Jenny, and Malin or Linn Berggren, co-wrote most of the tracks on their debut album Happy Nation which included the hits All That She Wants and Wheel of Fortune, and which subsequently gave the band worldwide success.
At the height of their success in 1993, stories appeared in the Swedish press revealing his past as part of a neo-nazi band when he was between the ages of 13 and 16. He subsequently expressed his regret as to that involvement and has said many times that he does not agree with any extremist views.
In 1994, The Sign became the best-selling single in America. One morning that year back in Sweden, Jenny woke up at her parent’s home with a stalker holding a knife to her neck and she and her mother suffered a shocking attack.
This is Ulf’s story, his regret for his past, the effect on the whole of the band of that knife attack, and, of course, the story of the 3rd best-selling act to come out of Sweden - Ace of Base.
