Pelle Westlin

Pelle was born 1991 in Uppsala. He is known for his work as a saxophonist, clarinetist, guitarist, and vocalist. A graduate of the Academy of Music and Drama at the University of Gothenburg, Westlin has been active in the Swedish jazz and experimental music scenes since the mid-2010s. 

In addition to Trio Ramberget, Pelle leads the free jazz quartet Westlin Tontin, co-leads the big band Stockholm Improvisers Orchestra, and plays in several other constellations in jazz and improvisation. He also works with his solo project, where he sings and plays guitar, blending folk traditions with lo-fi sounds. Notably, in 2021, he released a series of albums featuring hymns and spiritual songs performed with vocals and his 130-year-old guitar, which he inherited from his great grandmother.
