He was the lead singer for Leevi and the Leavings since the forming of the band. Leevi and the Leavings was a Finnish rock -band that operated from 1978 to 2003. The name "Leevi" is often taken to mean Sundqvist personally, although this is incorrect, and "Leevi" refers to a late friend of the band members. Sundqvist kept himself almost completely hidden from publicity and Leevi and the Leavings never performed in front of a live audience, with only one exception under the name "Tarmo Dynamo". In the 1980s and 90s, Gösta and the band gave some interviews but after the year 2000 Sundqvist became a total media hermit.
Sundqvist is best remembered by the songs he composed, arranged and wrote the texts for. His lyrics were down-to-earth which was probably the key to success among the Finnish public. In 1990 Sundqvist expanded his work to include radio comedy. Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) He wrote several humorous shows for the radio station formerly known as Radiomafia, including Tietokoneenkorjauskurssi ("Computer repair lesson") and Koe-eläinpuisto ("Test animal park"). Radiomafia was a Finnish radio station owned by YLE and mainly directed to teenagers and young adults
Sundqvist also wrote songs for singer Aarne Tenkanen, who was originally one of the characters appearing in Koe-eläinpuisto.
