Kjell Åke Jörgen Elofsson (born 14 January 1962) is a Swedish songwriter. He was one of the writers of the songwriter-team at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm (along with Denniz PoP, Max Martin, Kristian Lundin, Andreas Carlsson, Rami Yacoub, Per Magnusson, David Kreuger, Herbie Crichlow, Jake Schulze, Alexander Kronlund and Alexandra Talomaa) where he made successful songs such as Britney Spears' "Sometimes" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy". He is also known for co-writing hit songs like Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", which was nominated for Song the Year and Record of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, as well as Westlife's "Fool Again", "Unbreakable", and "Evergreen". Early years (1978-1998) Elofsson grew up in a small community called Skälderviken, outside Ängelholm in the south of Sweden. His father was not very present in his life and was a workaholic and alcoholic. His mother was a homemaker. Eloffson has explained he inherited the tendency to worry from his mother, and his tenacity from his father. His musical career started when he was 16, and he was the lead singer and guitarist in several local groups between 1978 and 1986, namely Air, Egon Pretty Band, Art Light, Garbo and Sitting Ducks. Only a few months later Jörgen signed his first record deal, with CBS. A solo career under the artist name "Shane" was launched and the first single, "Dance With Another", lifted from his 1989 debut album "Man in Me" was released. In 1993 the artist known as Shane came to an end. Elofsson explained, "I decided that I wanted to concentrate solely on writing music and not being an artist." Elofsson became a full-time songwriter in 1994, when he worked with the Swedish artist Carola. Cheiron Studios (1998-2001) His work at Cheiron Studios began in January 1998, and he was mainly working together with David Kreuger and Per Magnusson. Shortly after joining Cheiron, the studio was contacted by the Irish group "Boyzone" who needed material for their upcoming third album. Jörgen then co-wrote the song "Will Be Yours". Boyzone's album "Where We Belong" was released on May 25, 1998 and went straight to #1 in the UK. This was Boyzone's third consecutive album number one and it marked Jörgen's first international success. On January 12, 1999, Britney Spears’ debut album "…Baby One More Time" came out. Jörgen's "Sometimes" was released on April 30 as Spears’ second single. It was produced
