Anders Johansson grew up initially in Alnö, Sundsvall, but moved early to Stockholm. Following studies in England and United States, he joined Stockholm Records as an intern and later A&R manager, with Ola Håkansson as one of his mentors.[2][5] Here, he signed LOK in 1997 and recruited the members of A-Teens, founded in 1998.[2] In 2001, he became A&R manager at Universal following their acquisition of Stockholm Records.[2][5]

Thereafter, Johansson founded his own artist management company, Albot & Albot in 2008, and became a manager for Veronica Maggio, Sahara Hotnights and Carola.[2][6] In parallel, he was engaged by Melodifestivalen to manage A&R from 2012.[7][8]

In 2016, he partnered with NYC-based Jon Allen under the Buddys name. Their clients have included Veronica Maggio, Smith & Thell, Sandro Cavazza, NOTD, Estraden, and others.[5][3][4][9]
