@MetroAndroid

Your artist edit has been rejected.

Reason: Being from Sweden does not necessarily mean he was born there

If you feel the rejection is in error, please post further information or evidence here.

@Jimby

His last name is specifically Swedish in origin.

He "is a Swedish orchestrator"
https://open.spotify.com/artist/2hQXaxC4wndS2XXILcF3db

His Twitter profile location uses the Swedish word for Sweden (Sverige), rather than the foreign word for it.
https://twitter.com/PontusComposer

Swedish is his first language, rather than English.

He has lived in Sweden since at least 1994 and still lives there to this day.

At 1:00:03: "Pontus is a responsible, wonderful Swede."
He also has a Swedish accent in this interview.

I could not find explicit confirmation of birth, but after an exhaustive search, it seems exceedingly unlikely that he was not born in Sweden.

I don't disagree with any of that and, I agree, it is exceedingly likely he was born in Sweden. However, the field is for Birthplace rather than Nationality. Unless an artist has their birthplace stated we leave that field blank as it's entirely possible to be born in one country and raised from an early age in another.
