Im Hofstone, a.k.a Anders von Hofsten.
I love music and music loves me. Thats how I feel about it.
Its gotta be mutual, you know.I sing and play the piano. Most of the words come out in english, but also in swedish and sometimes even in portuguese!!!
And I produce and compose a lot, mostly hanging around my cosy basement studio in the centre of Stockholm, Sweden.
But I really love playing live too, with my proud and swinging band!I used to have a big soul orchestra called The Family Tree.
We did an album called Rouse! some 10 years ago...
I got tired of travelling with overweight and bought a sampler.
It kind of worked as my mini Hitachi tape recorder, on which I started recording at an age of seven, drumming my knuckles on the kitchen table (mummy irritated) and singing newly composed 50s songs (heavily inspired by the King...).
Then a couple of years ago my first solo album came out: Bottom of a heart. Its a mellow mishmash journey through my soulsearching mind and body. Check it out!I have my own record label, Soul Dog Records.
On it, except for Hofstone, Ive released and co-produced first european album Samba Makossa with marvellous brazilian singer Simone Moreno and her swinging band Os Lourinhos. I also play keys and sing in that band. We play a lot round the northern hemisphere. Look out!I always love to co-operate with funky people, so keep your eyes open for new tunes here on the page, collaborations/Hofstone stuff/whatevermovesthe atomsofyourbody...Take care now/Mr Hofstonemyspace
