John Lundvik has emerged as a break-out star of this year's Melodifestivalen, when he defied the 'death slot' of second in the semi-final running order and qualified direct to the finals. John has been an active figure in Sweden's music industry for many years, offering vocal features to various writers and producers as well as being a successful songwriter. His first brush with Melodifestivalen came in 2014 when he was the composer of Anton Ewald's "Natural".

Now as a solo artist, John has brought a classic and vocally immaculate performance with plenty of soul. The ballad "My Turn" is one that John that he wrote about his journey towards achieving his dream of being a successful solo artist. The performance is one that is simple but effective in showcasing him as an artist, as much of the focus falls on his vocal ability and emotional sincerity.
