Aron started his professional music career in the electro house-hip hop band Albatraoz, founded in 2012 by himself along with four of his best friends whom he had met while growing up. In August 2013, their debut single was released, the self-titled song "Albatraoz", [2] and shortly after they signed with Sony Music. [3] The song reached 36 on the Swedish Singles Chart and remained on the chart for 18 weeks. [4] "Albatraoz" was certified double platinum in Sweden. [5] In January 2014, the song had reached 8.5 million plays on Spotify and the group toured to promote the song. [6] The band followed up with a few singles, including "Arriba" and "Wunderbar", while touring Scandinavia from 2013 to 2017 before dissolving in 2017.

In March 2014, Ekberg released his debut solo single, "I'm an Albatraoz", with his younger sister, Nora Ekberg, better known as Little Sis Nora, on vocals. After some success independently, Ekberg also signed his solo project to Sony Music. The song reached number 1 in Sweden and Denmark and top 10 in Germany, Austria, Norway, Finland, Australia and the Netherlands. It was certified double platinum in Sweden and Australia and platinum in New Zealand, Italy and Denmark. [7] [8] The music video also has over 1.3 billion views on YouTube.
