I was born in 1970 in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. My music interest started around the age of 14, when I discovered the British pop band Duran Duran. What impressed me the most back then, was the band’s keyboard player Nick Rhodes.
After that I bought my first keyboard, a quite simple Yamaha home keyboard, and a little bit later a Yamaha Dx100 synthesizer. I also started taking piano lessons around that time. Earlier I had only played flute and clarinet at school. Not with very much success though….
A few years later, the Swedish television broadcasted Jean-Michel Jarre’s Rendez-vous in Houston concert. And that changed my focus from pop music to instrumental music, and I have never looked back since. Tangerine Dream and Vangelis came next. A concert in Stockholm by Kitaro in the late 80s was a very nice experience as well. In the early 90s, a friend introduced me to the music of Enigma. Micheal Cretu has definitely been a big influence, not necessary on my music, but more as a source of inspiration.
At the end of the 80s, I finally had a small MIDI based studio and I started to write my own songs. With time, the studio expanded a bit, and also I started to find my own style when it came to song writing.
A year into the new millennium, writing music was put on hold for a few years, while I studied computer science at the university. When my studies were finished, the need to write music emerged again. This was back in 2005. Technology had changed and suddenly I could do everything in the computer. And I went the software route. A couple of years later I started to buy some synthesizers again, after I got bored with the virtual world. Since then I have done projects in both the virtual world and also in the hardware world.
Recently, I have built a small studio without any computers or screens.
