About Me

I'm a Swedish drummer and researcher working in Germany. I've played the drums since I was about 13-14 years old and have experience from many different genres and bands. I play and listen to all good music with a groove, but my favourite is the heavy stuff with something for both brain and guts.

Here in Hannover I have just started playing with HEX . But check out the last band I recorded with AORIA .

Previous places I've lived in:
Stockholm, Sweden (hometown)
Genoa, Italy (three months)
Columbus, Ohio (one year)

My Blog

All time favourite re-read

Recently re-read one of my all times favourite books: "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's been a few years since the last time I read it so the sudden realization that I now, like the main c...

Farewell to Columbus

So...my year in Columbus is over. 50 weeks in the U.S. without a car or a T.V, or a band. I've learned lots, met some good people, had a lot of great times and enjoyed lots of great music. I may not h...

Tickets

Bought my ticket back to Stockholm for Christmas. One way. An odd, bittersweet sensation. Sad, because I'll be leaving Columbus just when I've gotten started, both workwise and socially. Nice, because...

Rob Zombie, anyone?

OK, so I was right in getting a ticket to Rob Zombie early on. Bad thing the friends I have made didn't make it before it was sold out. I have no one to go with. I don't even know where the darn place...
