His first released studio album was Drama in 2005. ==History== David Pagmar was raised in Stockholm, Sweden. He enjoys "movies from the fifties, music from the sixties and comic books from the seventies". Taken from the About Me section of his blog (), "While the other kids were searching for guns and ammo, I read the bible. I loved boats and rollercoasters. On the day I turned eight my mom bought me a guitar. I kept it in a closet and only took it out when I was alone." Montt has become increasingly popular in his native Sweden, as well as in many other European countries. His favorite Beatle is John Lennon〔http://www.hybrism.com/test/artists.php?artist_id=3〕 His debut release was the Single/EP ''Highschool Drama'', released on October 14, 2005. This was shortly followed by his debut full-length album ''Drama'', released on October 7, 2005. One single developed from ''Drama'', ''New York'', released on April 20, 2006. He then released an EP entitled ''Science'' on May 18, 2006. Mardié would later reuse some of the tracks from ''Science'' for his second full-length album, ''Clocks/Pretender'', released on April 18, 2007. ''Clocks/Pretender'' was a double album, one disc containing Montt Mardié tracks and the other collaborations with other musicians. Mardié announced he was working on a new album in early 2008.〔http://monttmardie.blogspot.com/2008/02/have-you-seen-my-dancing-shoes.html〕 In the same blog post, Mardié explained he was in the middle of re-recording old songs for his first UK release. He revealed the title "''Introducing... the best of Montt Mardié''" to be official, joking that if he had gotten his way it would have been called "Death".〔http://monttmardie.blogspot.com/2008/05/introducing-monty.html〕 ''Introducing... the best of Montt Mardié'' was released in May 2009 to positive reviews.〔http://bp3.blogger.com/_lc1xTt1gQZY/SHnF6vtOTEI/AAAAAAAAAIw/r7uJrBqShc4/s1600-h/Out+July-August+08.jpg〕〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/mar/06/montt-mardie-introducing-best-of〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/34n8〕 The album's first single ''Set Sail Tomorrow'' was released in mid-2008, going straight to the NME-radio A-list. The single was put on the H&M instore radio from July 2 for a month, going out to 1,200 stores across 23 countries. The single also helped Mardié become Rookie Of The Week on BBC 6music, and he was placed on the "Out in the City" top of the hot list.〔http://monttmardie.blogspot.com/2008/07/all-is-ok-in-uk.html〕 Mardié's third Swedish album was finally released in April 2009. ''Skaizerkite'' unveiled twelve new tracks and introduced a cleaner and larger sound to Mardié's distinct pop-style, featuring collaborations with Hanna Lovisa and Andreas Mattsson (whom he had previously worked with on ''Clocks/Pretender''). On May 15, 2009 he uploaded the track ''We Are All The Pirate Bay'' onto The Pirate Bay tracker〔http://thepiratebay.org/special/2009mmtpb.php〕 specifying "It's free and nobody will ever have to pay for it".〔http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4897173〕 This came after the provisional outcome of The Pirate Bay trial. The track was released using the Creative Commons license the song was up freely to be remixed and re-appropriated and many interpretations was made by fans and other artists such as Shorthand Phonetics which included a radically different version on their Creative Commons release "Errors in Calculating Odds, Errors in Calculating Value". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montt Mardié」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
