Peter Olof Ekberg , also known as Peter O Ekberg and under the pseudonym NP Lonesome, born April 9, 1953 in Åryd in Hemmesjö with Tegnaby parish, is a Swedish cultural worker, songwriter, guitarist, music producer, TV producer and principal.

After playing with various bands in Småland in the mid-1960s, Ekberg became the bass player and songwriter in Thorleifs. In the mid-1970s, as a music teacher in Ljungby, he came into contact with Sölve Rydell. They made three albums together, where Rydell was responsible for lyrics and Ekberg for music. The first album, Peter O Ekberg & Attila – So Awesome!! , was released in 1975 on Polydor, followed by two LPs for Tor Grammofon, Peter O. Ekberg and Så länge vi har oss. Ekberg subsequently made two further records as a solo artist on EMI , one of which, Open for business , with The Boogie Kings and the latter with his own band Peter O Ekberg's System . Ekberg also played with other artists such as Py Bäckman, Dan Hylander's Raj Montana Band (tours and their first LP, Raj Montana Band), Björn Afzelius (För Kung och Fosterland), Tommy Körberg, Mats Ronander, Mikael Rickfors, Kim Wilson from Fabulous Thunderbirds and Louise Hoffsten. In 1979, the Christmas album Glitter, mulled wine and rock n' roll was made where Ekberg both participated and produced, among others Björn Skifs.

As a music producer, Ekberg succeeded Anders Burman in 1982 and had to coordinate the Swedish side of WEA - Metronome and was 1983–1986 producer and recording manager there and produced records with a large number of Swedish artists. So, for example, Björnson, Kånka på ett tåg, and Suzzie Orkester.

Peter O Ekberg has also produced parts of the album Piano in the Dark with Brenda Russell as well as Lisa Nilsson's debut album, Indestructable.

By the late 1980s, Ekberg was once again living in Austin, Texas, where he produced and played with various local artists. In 2008, Ekberg began a brief collaboration with the singer and musician Ola Bjurman. From this came the record Fogerty Files (2008), which is an interpretation of and tribute to John Fogerty's songwriting. The record is published by Ekberg's company POE Productions AB. In 2016, Ekberg released a new album of his own after almost 30 years, now under the pseudonym NP Lonesome aka Peter O Ekberg. The album The Blue Accordingly has 13 own songs. In 2017 NP Lonesome released the album Long Play and in 2019 the albums Tangorabatt and Gubbjävel under the name Peter O Ekberg.
