Thåström was born in 1957 in Stockholm. Singing in the most important Swedish punk group, Ebba Grön, and the most influential alternative rock band, Imperiet, Thåström was the brightest shining star of Swedish rock in the '80s.When Imperiet finally broke through the boundaries of alternative music they became the most popular Swedish group at the time. In the end of the '80s Thåström set out on a successful solo career, and in the '90s, he formed the industrial rock band Peace Love and Pitbulls. In 1999, he returned with a solo album that was well-received by both the audience and the critics.
