About Me
Growing up in the small village Husbondliden (at the time only 70 inhabitants), 20 kilometers from the northern small town Lycksele, Sweden, I started playing the piano at seven, making my first tunes at that age. Later on I choose music over soccer. They were both my main interests during childhood. After attending music classes during high school I moved to Stockholm from Lycksele. Here I studied sound engineering and music production for two years at the Music Conservatory, and started playing with a couple of bands. Mostly with the band Eric's Bluesband, but also with a lot of other bands and artists with various musical styles. Playing with bigbands, musicals, showmusic and everything from jazz fusion to heavy rock I've covered most musical styles and genres. I've written and recorded music to movies and commersials as well as working as an arranger and producer. Throughout the years I've played in Norway, Finland, Denmark, The UK, France, Cyprus and of course Sweden. I've had the great pleasure of playing/recording with musicians/artists such as:
Jonatan Fast, Andreas Rydman, Derek January, Allen Finney, Carolina Miskovski, Brady Blade, Chuck Anthony, Ane Brun, Ireneos Koullouras, Josefina Sanner, Per "Ruskträsk" Johansson, Jonas Knutsson, Claes Yngström, Veronica Maggio, Vivien Searcy, Elizabeth Simonian, Marcus Fjellström, Karin Hammar, Franco Santunione, Tobias Ågren, Tino Gonzales, Stevie Klasson, Lars "Stockis" Liljeryd, Alan Haynes, James Bradley Jr, Frida Öhrn and Jörgen Kjellgren (Oh Laura), Work of Art, Mats Ronander, Izabel Guzman, Lisa Troedsson (Calaisa), Jenny Öhlund, James Husband (Of Montreal)
In 2004 I started the band Glass, making my dreams come true by recording my own music and starting up my own production label Daddy Longlegs Productions .
