Andreas Kleerup (born 1979), professionally known as Kleerup, is a Swedish electropop musician.

Kleerup's career as a producer, composer, songwriter and artist began in music as a songwriter, going on to tour with Teddybears and Robyn as a musician. In 2007, Kleerup released "With Every Heartbeat" featuring Robyn, which peaked at number 23 on the Swedish Singles Chart. "With Every Heartbeat" achieved greater success outside Sweden, most notably in the United Kingdom, where it topped the UK Singles Chart in August 2007 and became the second single by Swedish artists to top the charts in Britain during the 2000s decade after "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz in September and October 2004. The single peaked within on top ten of the charts in several other European countries, as well as peaking within the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.^{[citation needed]}
