Sven Lõhmus (born 13 July 1972) is an Estonian pop- composer, lyricist, and producer at Moonwalk Studios, a music company featuring Estonian artists. [1]
He has worked with leading artists of Estonia, including Vanilla Ninja, for which he was a manager, Suntribe, Urban Symphony, Grete Paia, Laura Põldvere, and Getter Jaani. In 2003, [2] 2004 [3] and 2010 [4] he won the award for "Best Author" from the "Eesti Popmuusika Aastaauhinnad". He was also the lead singer of the bands Mr. Happyman and Black Velvet.
Lõhmus' 1992 song "Bravely" attracted attention on the Internet as a piece of lost media, after an unidentified 30-second snippet of it was posted online with the title "Try to Smile Again". This resulted in a large online search to find the full song and its author, and in 2023 blew up to one of the largest searches of its kind. In February 2024, YouTube user Johhaidii uploaded an extended clip of the song that they had recorded from an unknown Estonian radio station in the 1990s, and it was identified shortly afterward.
