About Me

Born in Stockholm 1969. Started out about 8 years old, writing lyrics to guys like Mozart and Debussy. I thought it was ashame that you couldn't sing to such great tunes... I'm so sad I didn't keep those! A lot of things has happened since then. Touring with bluesbands, and spending a couple of years with a fantastic afroband called "Black Rhino" (Bless you, guys! You opened a new world to me.) and several projects down the road. I bought my first guitar in 2000 and my bass in oct 2006. Since januari 2007, I'm trying to get a grip of my recording equipment. At the moment I'm being my own band. I'm not allowed long coffeebreaks.
