Me:
Singer-songwriter currently living in Stockholm. I started my musical career as the guitar player in the rock band Benny Braun in Linköping in the 90's. The band wasn't the greatest but always played with energy and recorded a decent demo. Around the age of 18, in the late 90's, I started to record some songs I had written on a simple 4-track portable studio. This was not done with the most confidence but a few songs were put to tape, but are now lost in space and time. Have no clue where the tape went. At the summer of 2005 I borrowed My brothers digital portable studio and recorded the song Collision Course along with some other not finished material. Things really started to take pace however, when I got back from Dublin early 2006. I started record things with the help of my computer and gradually got better and better at it. One song, Eternal Christmas, got lots of airplay at last.fm (an internet radio station) during winter 2006 and I'm really pleased that people seem to like my music and that i developed as much as I have. I also play in tvaux , me and my brothers musical project.
