Jens Martin Lekman (pronounced "Yens"<ref>[http://www.splendidezine.com/features/lekman/ Jens Lekman interview at Splendid]</ref>) (born February 6 1981 in Angered, Sweden) is a Sweden|Swedish indie pop musician. His music can be described as guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings; the lyrics are often witty, romantic, and melancholic. His work is heavily influenced by that of Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman, and Belle and Sebastian. Early in 2008 he relocated to Melbourne, Australia.

Music career
Jens Lekman recorded and released much of his material privately from 2000 to 2003 on CD-R. Because one of his songs during this time was entitled "Rocky Dennis' Farewell Song to the Blind Girl", Lekman was mistakenly referred to as Rocky Dennis for a while (the song was actually written from the perspective of the main character of the 1985 film ''Mask (film)|Mask''). Lekman says that it was a "mistake": "someone thought that was my real name cause I had a song about him, and then radio picked up on it, and I never had a chance to change it".<ref>[http://www.indiepop.it/articoli/jenslekman_int_eng.htm Jens Lekman Interview]</ref> He put the confusion to rest with his ''Rocky Dennis in Heaven'' EP (2004).
