About Me

Born in Stockholm, april 17th in 1965. My interest in music began at the age of three when I forced my mother to buy me a pop record, which turned out to be the Beatles single Lady Madonna/The Inner Light. The Beatles however, didn't have as much impact on me as The Rutles. Everything I learned, I learned from The Rutles...
I started to play guitar at the age of ten and I played in a couple of bands during my teenage years. In the mid 80's I felt it was about time to take some piano lessons and strangely enough I became the bass player in a band with some friends. I began to build a home studio as well in that era. In lack of time I sold the equipment after a few years but happily for me I now have a brand new studio in my home. Whoopeee!
I've been playing bass in various bands since 1986 and I'm presently a member of the band "JAZZKAPELLET", which I consider a healthy and inspiring musical enviornment. Since march 2008 and for the next three months I'm also a stand in for the bassplayer of "Grumpy Old Men". So, am I a grumpy old man? Well, I don't know, you tell me...
But this space is for my own music. The songs are from my album "Mermaid Of The Lunar Sea", recorded jan/feb 2005. Because of MySpace's file size limit I've been forced to compress Curriculum Vitae and Eye Of The Storm into a lower quality in order to make them fit. That's said just to explain the poor sound in some places. I've choosed to publish them in this form anyway.
