About Me

My musical journey began in 1987 when i got my first real drumkit, it was a premier with zildjian cymbals from 1910. But i didn..t learn to play on it until some years later.
From 1998 to 2003 i recorded and giged with various bands and people such as Hatesquad, Nöjezbolaget, Dana Dragomir, Östen Warnerbring and another band that i won..t mention, but i got lots of $$$ and did many many gigs. In 1999 i also met Andreas Hall, wich i have played in various bands since then.
2004 i joined Exellent Dudes, in the lineup i joined was Stanley Hawk, Tobbe Skogh and Jonas Erixon. Later Jonas quit and Clara persson did the vocals. Now Jonas is back and were doing som gigs from time to time.
In the summer of 2004 Hall and I formed Carnival Sun. But it took time to find the right singer and bass player. The singer we found was the awesome Nille Svensson he joined the summer of 2005. In May 2006 we recorded Beggars and boozehounds in the soundpalace studio outside Karlshamn, it got real good reviews in magazines. For the upcomming gigs we had an old friend called Jimmy Davidsson helping out with the bass live. In the beginning of 2007 Tobbe Skogh joined Carnival Sun so the line up was completed With Hall, Nille, Tobbe and myself. Later that year we got a record deal with K-town records, and we..re recording the debut album right now.
In 2006 Jonas Erixon and Fredrik Ekberg asked me to join their old band Alicate. We released the single world of anger in 2007. And later that year Glenn Ljungqvist Joined the band ..bords. Right now we are recording an album.
