Live To Win - Andreas Carlsson's Autobiography

The Swedish song writer Andreas Carlsson has written hits for artists like Britney Spears, ’N Sync and Backstreet Boys. But for us Kiss fans he is more known as the song writer behind half of the songs of Paul Stanley’s ”Live To Win” album. Andreas has also been writing with Gene Simmons although nothing of this has been released yet.
Although just 36 years old, Andreas has now released his autobiography, titled ”Live To Win”. It’s so far only released in Swedish but for those of you who can read any of the Scandinavian languages or are interested anyway I can say that it’s a very interesting book with a lot of cool stories. Especially the stories about how he met Gene Simmons are very entertaining. The book can be purchased here.
