About Me

I'm a music student from Sweden soon on my 4th year (out of 6) at Musikhogskolan here in Malmo. When I'm done studying I will be a certified bass/guitar/ensemble teacher (with a Masters Degree in Music Education) which I'm really looking forward to! I already work part-time as a bass/guitar & ensemble teacher.
My main instrument is electric bass, but I also play quite a lot of electric & classical guitar. I'm a member of Mister Kite (metal) and EQ Fiskmås (fusion). Looking for a drummer and a bass player to join a yet unnamed progressive metal band (playing guitar in this band, a nice change).
In the summer of 2006 I did a bass recording session for an upcoming CD with the amazing guitarist/songwriter Magnus Karlsson who has worked with great people like Russell Allen ( Symphony X ) and Jorn Lande ( Masterplan ) - I must have set a new personal record by recording the 12 bass tracks for the entire album (+70 minutes worth of music) in less than 8 hours, including (a quite weird) soundcheck and a lunch break! :D
Mr. Gul is my solo project and was founded back in 2001. I write my own material and record (studio produced) demos every now and then. Usually I play all the instruments by myself with the exception of the drums, where I normally hand over a bunch of drum scores for some poor drummer friend to learn. Some of my closest friends have also been known to make noise on a track or two. ;)
Take care, everybody - and don't forget to enjoy music!
