I was born in Linköping, Sweden on February 17th 1978. My musical interest started very early and I began to play the cello at the age of 7. Classical music has been a big interest of mine ever since.
    At the age of 11 I bought my uncle's electric guitar and started to play along with my rockheroes Europe.
    At the same time I started my first band Dojjorna, with a few friends at my school. We played something musically between pop and rock. A year after, my good friend Arvid Sjögedahl joined the band playing the drums. At the age of 15, Arvid and I left the band to form another band with the great guitarist Markus Einarsson. The band was later called Beyond Silence. Since Markus was a much better guitarplayer than I was, I switched to bass guitar instead. I was used to four stringed instruments, playing the cello and all, so way not...;-) We played a more symphonic rock-style with influences from Metallica, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Europe and Rush. At the same time I started to take classical double bass lessons. In my high school years I begun to explore other styles of music. Jazz, latin, pop, country, ”schlagers” etc etc
    When I was 20 I moved to Stockholm to study music. I joined the melodic neoclassical metalband Stormwind in the spring of 99, which I still am a member of.
    In the fall of '99 I met Christian Rivel and joined his soloproject Wisdom Call. And after Christian’s recommendation I joined his main band Narnia.
    Ever since then, I have played in many diffenrent bands/projects. Everything from metal to smooth jazz and schlagers.
    I believe that to become a better musician, you always have to explore new styles and territories. You will always learn something...
