1.) Petra Linnea Paula Marklund better known as September (born in Stockholm, Sweden on 12 September 1984) is a Swedish dance singer. Her mother is Slovenian and has a musical past and her Swedish father is a professor in space physics. She started recording music in studios at the age of 12. When she was 17, she sang in a rock band and gained a record deal. The songs were written and produced by Jonas von der Burg, Niclas von der Burg and Anoo Bhagavan.

In 2003, at the age of 18, she had her first hit in Sweden with La La La (Never Give It Up), which reached number eight in her homeland. The single was followed by We Can Do It, which became her second top ten hit. As a result of these two singles, her debut album was recorded and released in February 2004, along with the third single from the album, September All Over, which reached the number eight position as well.

It then stayed quiet for September until she broke the silence by releasing Satellites, as the first single from her second album In Orbit, which became her biggest hit to date. The song currently stands at number 139 in the Swedish All-time Bestperforming Singles Chart. Other singles that followed from the same album included Looking For Love, Flowers On The Grave, Cry For You (which can now be considered her biggest worldwide hit to date).

In Poland September's second album, In Orbit, was released with new remixes and a DVD with music videos from the album. The album was well received there and peaked at number ten for two weeks, being certified Gold by selling over 10,000 copies.

2.) September was a progressive jazz / rock band from ex-Yugoslavia. It was formed in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1975 by two veteran members of the super-group called Jugoslovenska pop selekcija, organist Tihomir Pop Asanovi? and vocalist / guitar player janez bon?ina. They gathered some of the best instrumentalists of the then Yugoslavian jazz and rock scene, Petar Ugrin (trumpet / violin), Ratko Divjak (drums), Karel Charlie Novak (bass) and Braco Doblekar (saxophone / percussion), for the first album Zadnja avantura in 1976.
In the late 1977 the line-up changed when Ugrin, Novak and Divjak left to be replaced by Marjan Malikovi? (guitar), Jadran Ogrin (bass) and Nelfi Depanger (drums), who took part in the recording of the second album, Domovina moja, during their American visit in early 1978. In this period they enjoyed certain popularity due to a radio-friendly hit-singl with the title track of the second album domovino moja (Eng. "My Homeland"). They broke-up in late 1979 and the final members, along with Asanovi?, Bon?ina and Doblekar, included Ante Ma?uran (guitar), Dani Gan?ev (bass) and Tone Dimnik (drums). Both Tihomir Pop Asanovi? and janez bon?ina led parallel solo careers.


3.) September was an emo band from the 90s. During the entire 8 month span of September's brief presence, the band only managed to play two real shows in their native San Jose, California. Along with the five songs that they recorded, September's demise in May of 1995 left a heartfelt taste of bleak, complex pop that would eventually be pigeonholed into the category of "emo." Not wanting the band to whither away into obscurity, Tree Records released four out of the five songs that would eventually make up the Erasmia Pulcella ten-inch released in 1996. The remanding track can be found on the Love is a Dog From Hell compilation which came out on England's Simba Records.


4.) September was a Doom/Death Metal band from Sweden who had a brief existence during the early 90s. They had one demo entitled "Time of Darkness" released in 1992.
