Influences: I realized some years ago that you can find something good, something that can bring up thaughts and ideas or just something that creates impulses and tempts spontaneity to grow in each and every music style. So what I did was to start seeing people as musicians or entertainers instead of someones representing a sertain genre (ex. Reggae people, Indie people, Folk, Baroque musicians, Samba people, Skaa people, Synthers, Emocore people, Power-Heavy-Thrash-Gothic-Zombie-Black Prog-Glam-Forest-and all kinds of metallers, Popers, Hip hopers, Neo progers, Soul people, Country people etc..). I mean sometimes I just feel that it’s rediculous that we are this pedantic about genres. We have a weird need of putting names on everything and we tend to forget that there is in fact a songwriter behind each song out there. Someone writing music. I want people to do what makes them happy to do within music but I believe that you limit your self when you choose one genre and say â€Hey, this is really meâ€. I believe that you are so much more than one genre. So I find influences everywhere basically. But my music may though sound like something you’ve heard before. But I beg you, before you put it in a sertain box, listen to it as if it’s just music. Cause this discussion is not really about what it sounds like. It’s about respecting thaughts and perposes the song writer has had during the actual writing or even before that. Anyway, influences if not to mention everything in life are: Michael Jackson, Volund, Camel, Ted Gärdestad, Avishai Cohen, Judas Priest, Anders Glenmark, Pain of salvation (Daniel Gildenlöw), Alison Krauss, Eric Whitacre, Union Station, Coldplay, Esbjörn Svensson (R.I.P.), Opeth, Anthony Arjen Lucassen and all of his different projects, Deep Purple, Kalle Klockars, Disney music (!), Trading Fate, Lars Gullin, Racer X (Paul Gilbert), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil (especially for Les Misérables), James LaBrie, Celine Dion, Van Halen and David Lee Roth for their amazing joy and for a thousand smiles, Devin Townsend, Stravinsky, Jenny Björkqvist, Genesis (mostly from the Phil Collins-on vocals-era, but I love it all), Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder), Beyonce, Symphony X, Eloy, HÃ¥kan Hellström, Annie Cornels, Sieges even, Vanessa Carlton, The Ark, ARK with Jorn Lande, Europe, Francis Dunnery, It Bites, IQ, Jerusalem, Cirkus Pop, Andromeda, Rage against the machine.... and pretty much everyone else to..
