About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 Welcome to personal myspace site of CHRISTIAN LILJEGREN:
I am 36 years old and I live in ESKILSTUNA, SWEDEN. I work as a singer and run my own record company RIVEL RECORDS / CHRISTIAN MUSIC SWEDEN.
My biggests interest are music, sports, fishing,watching movies, spending time with friends. My faith in JESUS CHRIST keeps me alive!!!
My main priority band is NARNIA and will always be NARNIA. I am blessed,happy and very proud to be NARNIA's frontman & singer. I formed NARNIA together with my dear friend CARL JOHAN GRIMMARK in 1996. We have now been on the road together for over 10 years and my passion and fire to reach people all over the world with music with a message about the love of Jesus Christ is stronger than ever! .
I am looking forward for the future of NARNIA to make more music, release albums and tour the world. Hope to see you on tour with NARNIA!
I started my musical career in 1986 with my brother SIMEON LILJEGREN in a band called SEVEN SEAS. Since that I have been involved in many bands and done lots of albums & touring and it has been a tremendous journey.
I have also been involved in many recording bands/projects and released many albums besides NARNIA like MODEST ATTRACTION, WISDOM CALL, FLAGSHIP, DIVINEFIRE, AUDIOVISON and more. To express my love for music and to sing and perform in so many different ways from progressive & symphonic rock (FLAGSHIP), classic 70's hardrock (MODEST ATTRACTION) classic 80's hardrock/metal (WISDOM CALL & AUDIOVISION) to speedy aggressive symphonic metal with (DIVINEFIRE) have helped me to develop my voice and my performing on stage alot.Below you will find my discography of officially releases of DEMOS, VINYL SINGLES,LPs, CDs & DVDs where I am involved as a leadsinger.
