Singer of LOCO MOTIVE/ Janne Schaffer Band/ Happymakers/ The Prince Experience.
Story: Singer from Stockholm. Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Started singing 1993 and before that I played the drums for 7 years (Swedish municipal music school). I took private singing lessons for a couple of years, and then â€Rockmusikerlinjen†(a one year music school with focus on singing) between 1996-1997. I met Janne Schaffer (former guitarist of ABBA) 1996 and since then I´ve been the lead singer in his band. CD debut in 2000 on Janne Schaffer´s "PÃ¥ andra sidan mÃ¥nen". In 2002 I received a singing scholarship of 25.000 SEK. Been a full time singer since 2001 and made thousands of gigs (I lost count of them a long time ago…). I sing with the cover band Happymakers for a living, I write and sing my own music with the band LOCO MOTIVE. In february 2006 I participated in the swedish Eurovision contest with Electric Banana Band, a live broadcast tv-show with about 3 million people watching. Still taking singing lessons because you can always get better.... I also (try) to play some drums, bass, keys and guitar once in a while. Can´t stick to one of ´em even if I should... :)

Words of wisdom:
Live for love, get rid of your hate. Love is what makes this world go round.
I don´t think in terms of "races/colours", I only see different human beings.
Stop global warming. Make a difference today! See Al Gore´s movie "An inconveniant truth" and tell all your friends to see it.
