Markus Fagervall goes WordPress!
The winner of the Swedish TV-show Idol 2006, Markus Fagervall from Övertorneå, has launched a new website at MarkusFagervall.se. The site is based on WordPress with my theme WP-Andreas01, which was a happy surprise. I have seen Markus perform a number of times over the years when his band and my band has played on the same music festivals (like Jokkmokksfestivalen and Snabelfestivalen in Boden), and he is a great singer and artist with a long and solid musical background.
Edit: The domain is owned by Markus' label, Sony BMG, so it is an official website. The site shows upcoming promo events and has direct links to view Markus' video and purchasing his first single "Everything changes", so it is useful for anyone who has followed the show. I hope that Markus and the label will stick with the theme for a while, it would be fun since we are both from northern Sweden. Övertorneå is not very far from Jokkmokk…
In any case, I wish Markus the very best of luck!

I always enjoy finding Andreas-authored templates around the web.
For example, I just stumbled over this site that uses a familiar layout :)

Yes, it is the official site run by SONY BMG ;-)
We had little time and desperately needed a good solid design. I've always been a fan of your designs so it made sense to try to use one of them.
We're not sure if WordPress will get us all the way but for the moment it's really nice.
Cheers,
joakim

Joakim: Thanks for the info! I can understand the stress, with the album deadline and the full schedule. Thanks for trusting my design! =)
Let me know if you ever need any help with customization, modification or optimization of the theme, I'll be happy to help you tweak the theme if needed.

Since it's Sony BMG Sweden who've registered the domain name, I'd guess it's the official website för Markus.
