Soul Tunes

About Me

Lyrics and music written by J.Fredriksson.Started to perform,sing and play the piano since I was 5 years old as my mother forced me into it...lucky for me it became a part of me. The years went by and so did my first hard rock band in high school, my reagge band in college and later educations at the music schools in Sweden as gospel,afro and soul music became the biggest part of my life. My expression marks became bigger and bigger every where I went in the world...from Sweden too Africa.I started in a studio school, performed at Ullevi and Scandinavium as a 18 year old girl. Finsihed it all and moved on in life as I grew older.As a 20 year old woman my whole world turned upside down while I found out the life is short and anything can happened. In other words: life kicks in fast but it all can end fast as well. No futher explanations..but as I was put to the test I stoped taking life for granted as much as I could, got new chanses very quickly and: Boom! There it was: the short film and my two songs I made with my whole soul,all the cards on the table, I sold the songs to the company for the movie etc."Sacrifice" and "Soundtrack".The songs is in the documentary "Us and them", produced in the year 2005.On the long old high way I met people that inspired me, made marks, became my friends and later on WE became Soul Tunes. I am my Soul Tunes and for every person I meet that gives me inspiration, You are my Soul Tunes.To be continued....
