LEAP is Vanger’s 6th album. Previously, Vanger worked under the name Operatica, signed to Emagine music in the US. Vanger released 3 albums selling over 350,000 copies. Songs from the series, which combined opera with electronica, reached #9 on the US Billboard Dance Charts, #5 on the US Cross Over Charts and #1 on iTunes. The tracks were widely used in TV shows, most notably during the finale of Queer As Folk and in America’s Top Model starring Tyra Banks. One of the songs, Mon Amour, helmed Volume X of the popular Buddha Bar series and was featured in Jane Campion’s film “Hideous Kinky”.
 
Vanger got his break working in John Taylor’s (DuranDuran) studio in Los Angeles. There he was part of the production team behind Roxy Music tribute album “Dream Home Heartaches: Remaking/Remodeling Roxy Music”, contributing piano, drums and vocals. He also worked as a Pro Tools and drum engineer for Macy Gray, Sade sideband Sweetback and the New Radicals seminal pop album “Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too”. It was in during that period in LA that Vanger learned to combine the power of digital with analogue recording techniques. This discovery has defined the sound of all of Vanger’s work since. Strong sonwriting, backed by top live musicians and layered with electronica, LEAP is the distillation of that philosophy.
