Christoffer Franzén (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈkrɪstɔfər franˈseːn]) is a Swedish musician, producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer from Gothenburg. He is known for his alternative solo-project Lights & Motion, in which he plays all the instruments and writes all the music. Franzén created the project in 2012 as a result of a longer period insomnia and gained worldwide recognition when his music was featured in Google's commercial at the Oscars in 2013. His music has since been featured in multiple Hollywood trailers, fashion shows, commercials and TV-Shows.
Christoffer Franzén created the musical project Lights & Motion in early 2012, after having experienced a prolonged period of insomnia. The band have so far released four full-length albums, Reanimation, Save Your Heart, Chronicle and Dear Avalanche.
In 2016 his song "Stardust" was featured in the trailers for the film Rules Don't Apply. His music has been used by Apple on several occasions. In 2017 Apple chose to include two songs written by Franzen to be a part of their Memories Feature, available on all Apple devices globally.
In December 2013, Lights & Motion was voted as "The Best New Artist" in the annual polls by Post-rock on Facebook, the world's largest post-rock community.
Outside of the Lights & Motion project, Franzén have released 1 album under his own name. His second solo album, Phenomenon, will be released in late 2017.
Franzén has been a long time user of Fender Guitars. He has used the Telecaster, most notably, the 72 deluxe reissue and the thinline.
