Bylund was elected to the Riksdag in 2014. Prior to that he served as press secretary for Jimmie Åkesson and chief of staff for the Sweden Democratic group in the Riksdag. Born in Stockholm, he lived his first year in Rinkeby and the rest of his upbringing in Reimersholme in a family that counted five children.
In 1997 he got in conflict with policemen outside a pornographic shop.
This resulted in a sentence in 2002 for violence against civil servicemen. Bylund joined the Sweden Democrats in 2002.
The party did however for the first time enter the Riksdag and Bylund became press secretary for Jimmy Åkesson. A position that was later changed into a chief of staff role.
The background according to Bylund was that his Twitter feed was filled with tweets that compared the Norway attacks to various bomb attacks in the Middle East.
Following Åkesson"s sick leave due to burnout shortly after the election, Bylund was described in Dagens Nyheter as vital in helping Åkesson through the 2014 campaign. However, Bylund expressed that this was a myth. Together with Tomas Ringdahl, Bylund form the rock duo Korpöga which has made several songs for the Sweden Democrats, including "Vi är på gång nu" (English: We have something going now) which was played at the Sweden Democrats" campaigns in the 2010 and 2014 Swedish general election.
