My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 07/05/2005
Band Website: http://www.soundclick.com/svennibjorgvins
Band Members: It’s only me, I write, play and record all my songs. Lately I’ve though been collaborating with lyricist from UK, USA and NEW ZEALAND. I’ve also re-mixed songs for others using the Internet to send large files. Since I don’t play keyboards I get my friends to do that where needed.
Influences: I've been around for awhile so there are many great musicians that probably have "influenced" me! A few of my favorites that I recall at the moment are: Eagles, John Fogerty, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Toto, Queen, Pink Floyed, Sheryl Crow, Beatles, John Lennon, Thin Lizzy, Poul Simon, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Skunk Anansie, Michael Jackson, Sting, George Michael, and on and on...
Sounds Like: I've heard names like Steve Miller, James Taylor... and some say I sound like Eric Clapton playing the guitar...others say like Carlos Santana...but who knows? I've heard people even talk about bands I don't know... maybe I just sound like myself:-) How about that?
Record Label: none
