BIOGRAPHY
I began my musical career as a synth/keyboard player in various bands in southern Sweden. In the late 80's me and Kurt49 (formely known as Patric Jonsson) went to London with a newly recorded demo to try to break into the British music scene.
After six months, with no record deal, I moved back to Stockholm to advance my music career in more familiar surroundings. I started working in a music store and during this time secured a record deal with a newly formed record company who had a young talented producer, Anders Bagge. He released a single under the band name "Lalaland", unfortunately success did not follow! Musical influences changed to rock music and it was then that I formed "Scam" with Kurt49 & Staffan Westfält. We soon secured a record deal with BMG/Record Station and released the successful Album "Out of My Head". Unfortunately, before we could finish work on our second album, Record Station's contract with BMG ran out and I decided then to take a two-year break from music.
During this time, writers and producers like Denniz Pop, Max Martin were enjoying success worldwide. This inspired me to start writing songs again. The two-year break had served me well and I knew then that my future was in writing and producing.
Since then I've written & produced 4 Westlife songs and a lot of other stuff. For full discography check jarl.se
