Andreas Kleerup (born 1979), professionally known as Kleerup, is a Swedish electropop musician.
Kleerup began his music career as a songwriter, going on to tour with Teddybears and Robyn. In 2007, Kleerup released his debut single "With Every Heartbeat" featuring Robyn, which peaked at number 23 on the Swedish Singles Chart. The single achieved greater success outside Sweden, most notably in the United Kingdom, where it topped the UK Singles Chart in August 2007 and became the second single by Swedish artists to do so in the 2000s after "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz in September and October 2004. The single also peaked within the top 40 on the charts in several other European countries.
Kleerup's self-titled debut album, released in 2008, featured collaborators such as Lykke Li, Robyn, and Neneh Cherry. He received six Grammis nominations for the album, winning in the "Best Newcomer", "Best Producer", and "Best Composer" categories.
The 2010s also saw Kleerup expand his career as a composer. In 2010, he and Carl Bagge composed the music for Stockholm City Theatre's 50th-anniversary performance, a musical adaptation of Nobel Prize laureate Harry Martinson's Aniara , performed by a double string quartet.
In 2010, NME named Kleerup one of the 20 hottest producers in music. [1]

In addition to his work as a composer and songwriter, Kleerup has worked with and remixed such iconic artists as Lady Gaga, Moby, The Cardigans, and Nonono.
