Byz (Jorma Andreas Byström,[1] born 27 May 1984) is a Swedish rapper from Sala. His artist-name is inspired by his last name. Over the years from 1999 to 2000, he started his career as a musician with the group Inte helt oskyldiga. But not until 2003 did he release his first solo album There Is Still A Party Going On. In 2004, Byz had planned to end his music career, but ultimately decided against it. He released his second solo album, From Here To Somewhere, during the summer of that year. The album was sold in limited edition, just like his first 100 records, mainly for friends and family. In recent years, with the help of the Internet, his music has spread rapidly.
