Biography
editAxel Tufvesson was born on 28 February 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden.[5][6] Tufvesson first began making music around 2012. Around the same time he met the other members of the Sad Boys group through mutual friends.[7] Tufvesson has contributed to Yung Lean's albums including Warlord, Starz and Stranger. Tufvesson has notably produced songs for Bladee, and appeared on his 2024 album Cold Visions. Tufvessons producing on the Warlord album was described by the Guardian as "a twisted, trippy brew that eschews gunshot sample-heavy hip-hop cliche to blend retro 808 beats, witch-y house and a serrated, narcotic take on sombre Scandi synth-pop".[8] In 2017 Tufvesson released two solo EPs (Innocence and Innocence V2) under the label YEAR0001.[9] Tufvesson coproduced the debut album Xavier by the American rapper Xaviersobased.
Tufvesson has modeled for an Adidas Spring/Summer 2025 collection.[10]
