Tiger Lou is the main project of singer/songwriter Rasmus Kellerman from Nyköping, Sweden, founded in 2001.

He debuted the autumn of 2003 with the EP Trouble and Desire on legendary Swedish independent label Startracks. The EP included the track Sam, as in Samantha for which a dramatic and striking video was made by director Magnus Renfors. Interest came quickly both in Sweden and abroad. The EP was released the same autumn in the US on the Parasol label. Straight after the EP’s release Rasmus set out on a month long solo tour stateside and also had time to squeeze in a tour of Germany with only this EP released.

Tiger Lou is also involved in several other musical constellations: Araki, Las Puertas (along with his wife Andrea, Firefox AK) and Yun Bao to name a few.

The album Is My Head Still On? was released the spring of 2004 which included the singles and videos Oh Horatio, Sell Out and The War Between Us. The feedback was excellent and Tiger Lou was nominated “Newcomer of the Year” at the Swedish alternative music awards Manifest and the video for “Oh Horatio”, again directed by Magnus Renfors, was nominated for a Swedish Grammi in the “Best Video” category. Tiger Lou continued to tour both with a band and as a solo act. A long tour with Weeping Willows in Scandinavia, solo shows and additional band tours covering Germany, Holland, Austria and Belgium followed. Slowly but surely a strong and loyal fan base was building.
