Swedish politician and musician Roland Utbult was born on 24 May 1951. During his musical career, he has contributed a lot to the Christian genre of Swedish music. He is currently a politician serving Kristdemokraterna in the Swedish Riksdag[2] and surprisingly, he has used his musical talent in his service as a politician once in front of the parliament.[3] Along with other influential Christian musicians, Utbult appeared on the Swedish version of Gaither Homecoming, the - among many Swedish Christians - appreciated show "Minns du sången".[4]

Politics

During his time of politics, he has even been active in Folkpartiet, the Swedish liberal party. However, some of the things that the party stands for are considered not being compatible with Utbult's Christian faith.[5] Later, in the elections of 2010, one would find Roland Utbult as a candidate for the more conservative party of Kristdemokraterna and has been a member of the Swedish parliament since that year.[6]
