During Monday morning, the students at T4 school in Hässleholm in Skåne celebert the visited of the artist and Mello star Robin Stjernberg. The students had a few weeks earlier practiced his latest song "Love" that they sang together during the day.
After an intense period in Stockholm he thinks it's nice to be back at his old school.
How has the day been?
- "It has been amazing! Something happened in the eyes of the students as soon as we started playing together. It is a receipt that music is such an important part of teaching."
He describes life in Stockholm as very focused on career and succeeding in the music industry, something that can be very hard. - "That's why it's so important to do this here too. This is the core and I will never forget that."
- "As soon as we started singing, the students also started dancing." Now I'm totally sweaty, he says.
It's the first time Robin Stjernberg is in a workshop for students with functional variations. But to the Kvällsposten he tells that the experience has given blood tooth.
"Music is really something everyone can take on. You are met by the music and can communicate with each other in another way, he says and continues: - "I love raw feelings. There are no filters here and they will come true, so it should always be, he continues.

"Did not write a song in a half year"
After the super success of the Melodifestivalen 2013 and a series of tours, it ended up to much and in half a year Robin Stjernberg suffered from writing cramps.
- It was terrible. Suddenly, I felt like the world's worst man.
I could sit for several hours in the studio but did not get a single song. I did not write a single song in six months, he says.
When it let go in the fall of 2016, but the performance requirements are still in place. "I sit 13-14 hours a day in the studio, but sometimes there are no songs. Then I can suddenly write a song in 20 minutes.
Robin Stjernberg tells us that the song "Love" was one.
"I wrote that to my friends' wedding. It came only by itself.
Writes to others
In addition to singing and standing on stage, Robin also write songs for other artists. During last year's Melodifestival, Robin Bengtsson won the song "I can not go on" that Robin Stjernberg has written. - "I want to stand on stage but have no trouble writing songs to others as well." He's currently working on his EP scheduled for release later this year. "There's only one song left to write," he says.
