1996, is the year TN launch his solocarrier. The first thing is a local music competiton called "Nya Talangen" in Örebro (Martin Stenmarck, Kenneth & The Knutters, The Pinks - are just a few of all artist/musicians that competet in that competition), TN ends up with good second place in the finals that year.

The same year, TN finished his selftitled debutalbum, a pop/rock history, and the result of a teamwork between TN and the guitarist and songwriter Staffan Ernestam (plays in Sven-Ingvars & Jeremias Session Band), who also co produced the album together with Anders Eliasson (former member of Lambretta).
Of different reasons that only the record company Musikverkstan can answer, the realese of the album got very delayed, it took one more performence in the Swedish Song Contest, this time with a song written by Micke Wennborn & Py Bäckman, a great song named "Blue As Her Angel Eyes" in 2002, short after the perfomence the album were realesed..
Now, 6 years later, TN have started the long way back, with new songs, and a great hunger to met the audience again..
