Not Too Close, Not Too Far...

About Me

Grew up in Falkenberg at the west coast of Sweden. I began in earnest to sing when I was about 12-13 years old. That was when I realized how great music is, I sang all the time. Later on I started to write lyrics, which turned out as songs when I got my first guitar at my 15th birthday. Since then I've been playing, writing and singing. Playing, writing and singing. Yeah, you get it ;-)
For about two year ago I moved to Helsingborg with my best friend to study music at "Mega Musik Gymnasieskola". Since then I've started to sing more and more, I love it more for each day that is passing by.
I've been recording my first demo since last fall (2007). It will be demo with songs that I've been written the last year. I hope it will be finished soon so you guys will be able to hear all the songs!
My friend David "Z" Magnusson is helping me out with this demo by letting me use his studio, giving me a great support and ideas with the producing, he makes my songs become like I want them. Marcus "Stifler" Ohlsson is helping me out too, with producing & recording. A huge thank you to the both of you!

Also a big thank you to Simon "Koffee" Gustafsson, who helped me out with the recording, producing and almost all the instruments at "To All the Friends of Mine" and "Not Too Close, Not Too Far", also the bass at one of my songs that I've recorded at Davids place, and for always being there to make me keep on going.
Vicke, never forget, you are my absolutely best friend, and will always be. Thanks for being there through all those years!
I will upload some more songs from my demo as soon as possible. So, keep in touch to check them out!
Take care :)
