Dan Sundquist was born to Swedish parents in Stockholm, Sweden and grew up in Näsby Park, Rågsved, Vikarbyn, Hägersten and Vaxholm, Sweden and in Barcelona, Spain.

After a year in Nyckelviksskolan Art School in 1976, he decided to quit art studies and start his band Reeperbahn with Olle Ljungström, getting their first recording contract in 1979. He produced his first album in 1980, at 21 years old.
Sundquist has received several Swedish Grammy nominations and has won seven to date. [8]

The album was an immediate commercial success in Sweden, debuting at number one and eventually being certified 6× platinum there.
Joyride is the third studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 25 March 1991 by EMI as the follow-up to their international breakthrough Look Sharp! (1988), as well as the non-album single "It Must Have Been Love", from the soundtrack to Pretty Woman (1990). The album was recorded over an 11-month period in Sweden. The duo experienced considerable pressure from their record label to deliver a successful follow-up album, and resisted pressure to relocate to Los Angeles and work with experienced American producers.
Whitney Houston is the debut studio album by American singer Whitney Houston. It was released on February 14, 1985, by Arista Records.

It eventually topped the Billboard 200 for 14 weeks in 1986, generating three number-one singles—"Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love of All"—on the Billboard Hot 100, which made it both the first debut album and the first album by a solo female artist to produce three number-one singles.
Whitney is the second studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released on June 2, 1987, by Arista Records as the follow-up to her debut album. The album features five top 10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, which also became international hits. The album's first four singles—"I Wanna Dance with Somebody ", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"—all peaked at number one on the US Hot 100, making her the first female act to achieve four number-one hits from one album.

The effort was quickly expanded into her fourth studio album My Love Is Your Love, released in November 1998 to widespread success, which effectively postponed Whitney: The Greatest Hits again.
