Andreas Öhrn rose to fame as the founder and front figure of Swedish Amateurs, Sweden's leading underground punk rock band. Crossing over to the mainstream rock scene, Öhrn skipped traditional rock'n'roll and instead opted to work with electronica producers Bard and Wikström to create an innovative hybrid sound. Öhrn's co-producer Ben Smith is also involved with Gravitonas as the main guitar player of the project.

Although Gravitonas is the first project the two work together on, Alexander Bard and Henrik Wikström are both legendary record producers in Sweden. Bard first rose to fame in the early 1990s as one of the founders of the Swedish electro-pop scene (the other two being producers Denniz Pop and ). In 1992, with his own band (over seven million records sold to date) as its only signing, he partnered with legendary entrepreneur and producer Ola Håkansson to launch the classic record label . Stockholm Records expanded rapidly, breaking major international stars like The Cardigans, A-Teens and Stakka Bo, and by the time the company was sold to Universal Music in 1998 it was already Scandinavia's biggest independent record company.
