Jonas Ekfeldt (born 29 June 1971) is a Swedish music producer and singer. In 1996, using the name Robin Cook, he released the single "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down" (a cover of Nik Kershaw's 1983 debut "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me") followed by a cover of Raggio Di Luna's "Comanchero" and the album Land of Sunshine in 1997.
Ekfeldt sang and produced "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down" and all subsequent releases under the name Robin Cook, but appointed Manuel Manci to front and perform, thinking he himself lacked time. The truth of who really was the singer was kept secret until Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet ran an articleBjörn Solfors.
