No amount is too small or too big!!!FOR THOSE WHO ARE TIRED OF OFFICIAL BIOS - HERE COMES THE UNOFFICIAL STORY - APPROVED BY THE VIKING GODS (AND NOONE ELSE)19 years ago, from the hazardous storms and below zero temperatures of the remote and dangerous place on earth where even the deepest fjords freeze to ice - and there is no summer - The Commander was born.
At the age of 4 she could speak with whales. At the age of 6 she killed her first polar bear.
Having heard rumors about a better and more prosperous place on earth her family set off to find the promised land far far south. Their 8 polar dogs pulled all their belongings, boxes of goat cheese and mjod for weeks thru countries of lederhosen, apfelstrudel and alps - and finally they arrived at their destination. They spent the next 7 years drinking cheap Italian wine, eating olives and fishing tuna not understanding what was going on. It was at the age of 10 The Commander discovered her talent for music. She used to sit late at night outside the family tent and sing for the gekkos and squirrels, who was the only friends she ever had.
When there were no more women to rape and churches to burn her dad got bored and they stumbled across the border to France. In a remote cave up in the mountains The Commander found herself chasing rats around the cave at nights. The family made a brave decisions to set out on the most challenging journey of their lives - across the big, ice cold ocean to the promised land of freedom in the west.
Only 7 of the 18 children survived the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in the homebuilt Viking ship. The Commander did not give up! She fought for her life and her determination was rewarded. In the new land there was sunshine, oranges and gators! She spent her time playing with the gators in the backyard at the trailerpark, where her family had found their paradise, when a huge hurricane hit them. They were blown away to south side Chicago, leaving her dead drunk dad as the only one back in the south.Now it was only the wives and the children left and the oldest sons had to provide for the family. They started a local gang and took control of the streets. The Commander , still clinging to some of the debris from the trailer after the hurricane, sat down and built herself her first instrument. She used the intestines of her dead cat who was killed in a drive by shooting to make strings and she called the instrument a guitar. She spent countless hours trying to tune it and after 3 months it finally sounded the way she wanted.
She started to write her own music in all 4 languages she picked up along the way, and since then there has been no way back!
The Commander realized it was time to move on and after a long and hard fight between the women in the family it was finally decided who was her mom. The two of them left without saying goodbye to the others. They are now back in Europe. In London and The Commander is here to change the world with her raw, powerful and genuine Hybrid Rock! Her skyrocketing high notes, crystal clear voice and the B.C.Rich Bich she won after a street fight with a Mexican kid in Chicago can be heard late at night for anyone who is out walking the streets of Wimbledon.
