Armand Duplantis has received a record contract
On Friday, the Swedish-American athletics star releases his first song, which he wrote with Rasmus Wahlgren and Daniel Berg. It’s called “Bop”. Anyone who follows Duplantis on social media could hear a sniff of the song already earlier this week, but now it is to listen to in its entirety.
– In pole jumps you see that he has a lot of confidence, but in the studio it has been fun to see him grow into it, at first he said “I have no control,” Daniel Berg tells P3 News.

Songwriting trio met for the first time in a studio where “Mondo” was to record advertising. Then they started to test playing music together. Now they have already been able to create amazingly many songs – as many as 30 – together and Armand Duplantis has received record contracts with a company.
– As I have taken it, he wants to continue to release music, but he has much else to think about too, so it depends on how much is done, says Berg.
Compete soon in indoor World Cup
“Mondos” fiancé Desiré Inglander Has commented on the video on Instagram where he can be seen in the music studio.
“Full of surprises,” she writes.

The idea is that the pole jumper will release another two or three singles this year. But anyone who is wondering if this side project will take too much time from his job as an elite athlete need not be worried. Duplantis will compete already tonight in French Clermont-Ferrand. In addition, he will participate in the indoor World Cup in Nanjing, China, March 21-23.
