Cruisin´ for a bruisin´

About Me

ACTOR & MUSICIAN Born in stockholm 12/11 -1976My parents followed the so called Green wave to the countryside, where nothing actually had ever happened since 1956. Musically. Believe it or not, but my home town is THE biggest town as far as rockabilly goes, at least in sweden. Apart from maybe Sodertalje.Teen angst, teen angst, formed a band, nobody understood what we were doing, more teenangst, didn´t get laid that often, even though I played in a band, so much more teen angst. The band kind of split up and I left, Torsby, for good.Been around Sweden, Uppsala, Arvika, Stockholm, Skinnskatteberg, Märsta, and even took a detour to Bergen, Norway.I have finally settled, for now to be more precise, in Stockholm. I am an actor, mildly sucessful, but still sucessful, and a singer songwriter by default.I.e. I haven´t got a band for the moment, but I´m working for that to be realized. Have to learn how to be democratic about the whole arranging the song thing. I´m learning. and Yes, I did get laid after leaving Torsby. www.mp3.com/leifwedin

Sounds Like: Well, myself I guess, since I learned how to play the guitar and the bass solely through making my own songs from the beginning. Of course inspired in some way by other artists. I couldn´t play like them, But I kind of found my music by trying to sound like them. And I also found my own voice during this. So I´m pretty much an original.But I´m sure you could trace it if you wanted to.I my self can find elements of the pixies, NIN, Thåström, Cash, Violent Femmes, but I don´t think they are THAT obvious. And I´m not looking that hard either.
