About Me

Started out wanting to be a rockstar (singer of course...), and when, to my big surprise, that didn't work out, I started playing guitar and keyboards in a couple of bands (and we were HUGE...). Pretty soon I found myself behind the board in most of our recording sessions, trying to get it to sound the way I heard it in my head. And then I pretty much just stayed there!! It turned into a studio of my own where I now spend my days producing all kinds of great artists and bands! Jill Johnson, Shirley Clamp, Rednex, Nanne, Torsson & Buford Pope are a couple of my clients, and I've had the privilege of getting to know some of the best (that's what I think, anyways!) musicians in Sweden (to name a few: Pelle Jernryd, Mats Bengtsson, Mattias Pedersen, Tomas Ebrelius, Micke Nilsson, etc.) and actually get to work with them quite often... So I guess life is pretty GOOD!
Recent songwriting sessions has resulted in Shirley Clamps latest album "TÃ¥lamod" and two songs in the swedish semifinals for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008!


My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/5/2007
Band Website: ylastudios.com
Band Members: Often co-write with two of the best guys I know, Maciel Numhauser & Robin Abrahamsson, under the name of Ka-Ching Productions (www.ka-ching.se). Otherwise, like when I produce stuff, it's mostly on my own...
Influences: Very much influenced by stuff that has an impact on me in some way or the other, doesn't really matter where, who or why. Productionwise, Rick Rubin/Richard Dodd, Daniel Lanois/Brian Eno & Mutt Lange are to me giants of whom I am unworthy to even speak of... When it comes to songwriting and musicians, I'm a sucker for country, just can't help it!
Sounds Like: MyGen Profile GeneratorI hope I sound like me, but most probably, just like a really bad copy of somebody else (!)...
Type of Label: None
