Hello! Welcome to the OFFICIAL CJ GRIMMARK MySpace-site! ! !
I'm a Guitarist, Songwriter and Producer from Sweden.
My main "gig" is with my band NARNIA. Check it out at www.narniaworld.com!
I'm also a member of ROB ROCK band and just joined BEAUTIFUL SIN too.
Check it out on www.robrock.com and www.myspace.com/thebeautifulsinmetalband
My first solo-album is also on it's way.
The band consists of Jan S Eckert from MASTERPLAN on bass and Peter Wildoer from DARKANE on drums - and they really rock!! :)
Clips can be found at this page and more info will follow here and at www.grimmark.com.
If YOU need a guitarist who is able to deliver professionally recorded guitar-tracks for Your album, I'd love to have a listen to Your material and then we go from there.
My "specialties" are wide in the metal/hardrock/progressive genres but I'm also capable of playing other styles. Just drop me a line on [email protected]!

John Petrucci, Kee Marcello, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Morse, John Norum, Gary Moore, Joe Satriani and Ritchie Blackmore....and lately also Marco Sfogli who rocks big time!
