Petrus real name is Peter Thelenius. He is the man behind the very famous eurodance group Basic Element from Sweden. In the early and mid 90's, you could spot their hits on the charts world wide. Songs like "The Promise Man", "Leave It All Behind", "The Ride", "This Must Be A Dream" and many more are some of their biggest hits. When Basic Element did a break in 1997-1998, because of the singer Saunet Sparell left the group, Petrus recorde a solo album; "Trust Then Pain", with a European Rap / HipHop style. In those years he released three singles "Listen To Your Hear", "China In Your Hand" and "Prayer For The Dying". The album was a success especially in Japan, where Basic Element were very big, and people noticed this rapper from the group. Petrus found a new singer for the Basic Element group, released the two singles "Love 4 real" and "Rok the world" in 1999. The same year the last Basic Element album was released, even though in 2003, they released the single "Out of this world" but it flopped. Then for some years it was quiet.
   But in early 2005, in march, Petrus returns to the music business. This time he performs live as the project B-Boys International on Swedish Tv. The song is called "One step closer" and on this project you also find D-Flex, the rapper and producer. The song is fantastic and also you can download the live performance on out forum. Stay tuned for more info!
  In the end of August 2005, the world got to hear the Basic Element name out the on the radio again! They came back and released their new album "The Empire Strikes Again" with hits like "To You" and "Feelings". The success was huge again with lots of chart hits. In 2008, Petrus was touring around Poland and Russia with he Basic Element crew.
  He has always said that the door for another Petrus project is still opened...
