Freestyle was short lived Swedish electronic music group active in early 1980s. Original line-up consisted of Tommy Ekman, Christer Sandelin, Gigi Hamilton, Joakim Hagleitner, Anders Uddberg and Kayo, but Kayo left the group before its first major hit and was replaced by Diane Corinne Söderholm. Most notable hits of the group include "Vill ha dej", "Fantasi", "Ögon som glittrar" and "Rider omkring". "Vill ha dej" (also spelled "Vill ha dig") did stay on top of the list for 5 consecutive weeks and was covered by Swedish solo project Drömhus in 1998. Freestyle disbanded in 1983, and Tommy Ekman, Christer Sandelin and Gigi Hamilton formed Style.
