Education and career.
Settman started acting in Skärholmen at the age of ten and studied at Södra Latin along with eventual Ronny and Ragge actors Fredde Granberg and Gila Bergqvist. At age 21 he acted in skits in the youth television show "Kosmopol" on local television in Växjö. In 1989 Settman started his production company Baluba.
Ronny och Ragge was one of Settman's most prominent shows. Settman played Ronny to Granberg's Ragge; the duo was depicted as typical raggare. The characters were introduced in a parody of a popular soap opera, "Storstad", and became an instant hit. Settman and Granberg featured on their own show called "Byhåla", which was broadcast on Sveriges Television from 1991 to 1993. Upon the suggestion of Swedish musician Christer Sandelin, Ronny and Ragge released their own album with lyrics set to Sandelin's music, which sold 138,000 copies.
Settman and Granberg co-starred in shows such as "Megafon", "Äntligen Måndag", "Stereo" and "Bara med Bruno". They went their separate ways in the late 1990s. In 2001 Settman acted in the TV4 show "En ängels tålamod", where he played the character Gabriel. In 2004, he presented "Melodifestivalen 2004", and became "Melodifestivalen 2005"'s producer the following year. In 2006, he started presenting "Så ska det låta" (That's the Spirit!) on SVT and "Sommarkrysset" in 2005 on TV4. Between late 2008 and early 2009, he presented "Dansbandskampen" on Sveriges Television. During the winter of 2013-2014, he presented the talk show "Settman på plats" on Sveriges Television.
