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. 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. We played
a more symphonic rock-style with influences from Metallica, Pink Floyd,
Marillion, Europe and Rush.
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 Liljegren and joined
his soloproject Wisdom Call with Andreas J.
When Jakob left Narnia, I was asked to fill his place. I'm really honored
to be a part of the Narnia family, and I've liked the band from the
beginning. I will do my best to bring my bass foundation into the music
of Narnia.
