About

Chris Kläfford (born Mikael Christoffer Sjögren, 10 April 1989, Ramsberg, Sweden) is a Swedish singer-songwriter who spent a decade playing small bars before winning Swedish Idol in 2017. His acoustic cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" on America's Got Talent (2019) brought him global attention, and he has since released two studio albums - "Maybe It's Just Me" (2023) and "What I'm Running From" (2025), the latter recorded in Nashville on his own label, HoxFord Records.
