'''Lars Magnus Carlsson''' (born 24 June 1974) is a Swedish singer and former member of the bands Alcazar and Barbados as well as a solo performer.
== Early life == Magnus Carlsson was born in Borås and grew up in Fristad. He attended comprehensive upper secondary school for two years with a focus on musical training, and four further years at the Faculty of Arts in University of Gothenburg, where he studied to be a music and song/voice teacher.
In 1992, Carlsson joined Swedish dansband Barbados. He left in 2002 and on 13 December 2002 he officially joined the pop-dance group Alcazar. On 24 January 2003, he performed his last concert with Barbados.
== Solo career == In February 2006, he was a contestant in Melodifestivalen's semi-final in Karlstad with "Lev Livet!", composed by Anders Glenmark and Niklas Strömstedt, and qualified for the final in Globen.
In 2007, Magnus performed in the third heat of Melodifestivalen 2007 in Örnsköldsvik with "Live Forever", an eighties-inspired electropop dance song. The entry came in 5th place and was knocked out of the contest but still became the 6th most frequently played song on Swedish radio in 2007. The song was released as a single on 5 March 2007 and reached the status of gold certificate.
Carlsson participated in Melodifestivalen 2015 with "Möt mig i Gamla stan" and made it to the final in Friends Arena,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen/article20319135.ab|title=Magnus Carlssons revansch – direkt till final i Melodifestivalen - Melodifestivalen - Nöjesbladet - Aftonbladet|work=Aftonbladet|date=14 February 2015 |accessdate=21 February 2015}}</ref> finishing 9th overall in 12 finalists.
