Carl-Mikael Göran "Micke" Berlander (born August 29, 1995)[1][2] known by his stage names Gud and Rooster (fka Yung Gud & WEST!), is a Swedish DJ and producer well known for being one of the members for rapper Yung Lean's Stockholm-based group Sad Boys. Being influenced by "left-field" music, he began producing at the age of twelve, first making psychedelic trance music, but would not get into hip hop until much later. He did not do well in school, and pursued a career in music before he graduated, which garnered mixed feelings from his father. His production alongside Sad Boys for Yung Lean's music has been well received. Outside of his Sad Boys career, he released his debut extended play Beautiful, Wonderful in November 2014, and has done production work for acts including Halsey and Deniro Farrar, and remixes of songs by acts including Jacques Greene, Kacy Hill, Meek Mill and Tinashe. These have also garnered a positive critical response from publications including Pigeons & Planes and The Fader. He has stated in a 2014 interview to be very focused on his work with the Sad Boys and his solo material. Berlander is part of a mixed race family, since his Nigerian grandfather met his grandmother, who was a Swede, in London.[1] Berlander, as well as the other members of the Sad Boys group, have described living in Stockholm as "boring" and "miserable".[3] While he has resided in the city for most of his life, Berlander had once lived in a small urban area called Gnesta, whi
