Zain Odelstål have entered Melodifestivalen 2018 following a victorious run in 2017 in which the entry that they designed won the whole contest (Robin Bengtsson's "I Can't Go On"). This year they have choreographed and styled entries for Benjamin Ingrosso ("Dance You Off"), Mariette ("For You"), Méndez ("Everyday"), Jessica Andersson ("Party Voice"), and Moncho ("Cuba Libre"). Odelstål has a background in dance and is largely responsible for developing the choreography of the entries he works on, while Brøchner has done extensive work as a drag queen in Sweden and contributes his styling skills. Together, they also design the creative concepts for the entries they work on alongside the artists and other team-members involved.
