Alexander Michael Tidebrink Stomberg (born 3 May 1994), professionally recognized as A7S, is a Swedish vocalist, DJ, music producer, and songwriter. His track "Breaking Me," a collaboration with German DJ Topic, debuted on 19 December 2019 and achieved top 10 chart positions in 24 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and Ireland. This single represented his inaugural appearance on the UK singles chart and attained the number-one position in Portugal. Throughout his career, Tidebrink has worked alongside artists such as Clean Bandit, Lil Baby, Bebe Rexha, J Balvin, Ellie Goulding, Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Smith & Thell, and Vigiland.
In 2020, "Breaking Me" reached number six on Spotify's global rankings, while in 2021, "Your Love (9PM)" was ranked as the sixth most broadcasted radio song worldwide.
A7S contributed as co-writer to "Only Thing We Know" by Alle Farben, which earned gold certification in both Germany and Austria and topped German airplay charts—marking his second chart-topping hit there. Additionally, he wrote and featured on Vigiland's "Be Your Friend," which climbed to number seven on Sweden's official chart and was among the four most streamed songs in Sweden during 2018.
On 28 August 2020, A7S released "Why Do You Lie to Me," a single again produced with Topic and featuring American rapper Lil Baby.
In 2021, A7S partnered once more with Topic to remake ATB's chart-topping track "9 PM (Till I Come)," collaborating with original creator André 'ATB' Tanneberger. The revamped version titled "Your Love (9PM)" was issued by Positiva Records and charted internationally, including reaching number 23 on the UK Singles Chart and performing well in Germany.
