Electronic music & art collective Seadrake is a chart-topping creative force on the global synthpop scene. Combining machine- wizard Mathias Thürk (ex-Minerve) and award-winning bassist/keyboardist Rickard Gunnarsson (Lowe, Statemachine), they have a strong reputation for bold and powerful music and successful collaborations with diverse and dynamic vocalists including Dorian E (We Are Loveblind, Dear Strange, Lexy & K-Paul) and Tom Åsberg (Brides of the Black Room, ex-Priest).
Rickard Gunnarsson’s exposure to the Swedish music scene started at a young age, inspired by his world-famous musician
father, Rutger Gunnarsson (ABBA, Elton John, Mamma Mia the Movie, and others), he has played an influential role in some of
Sweden’s most well-known electronic acts. As part of Statemachine and Lowe (both winners of Scandinavian Music Awards), Gunnarsson has toured throughout North America, Russia, and most of Eastern and Western Europe. He has also performed with artists including Moby and West End Girls.
Mathias Thürk broke onto the scene playing keyboards with pop band Minerve. Originally from East Berlin, and now residing in
