My musical career started with me playing around on my grandfather's piano when I was 3 or 4.
Already at that age I thought composing my own songs was a lot more fun than playing other peoples music.
Between the ages of 9 and 18 I did my musical education playing trumpet at The Public Music Scool in Sundsvall, on all other instruments; guitar, base, drums, piano, I am selftaught. I had my first gig playing my own songs when I was 11, I then played the keyboard.

I started my first heavy metal band when I was 14 (Heavy Weight) I played the drums but noticed that our guitarist got all the attention from the girls standing in front so I decided to become a guitarist instead. My rolemodels were Ritchie Blackmore and Yngwie Malmsteen. My favourite composers are Benny Andersson, Bach, Danny Elfman, John Williams and Georg Riedel. My favourite Orchestrator/Arranger is Anders
Eljas. My favourite bands are Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, Kansas and Deep Purple In 1988 I met Henrik and we started writing songs together in (Give The Iron). Four years later we changed the lineup and name and gave all we had for the success of (Moahni Moahna). We released our own CD in -92 and made a video that Vanessa Warwick liked so much she played it on MTV Headbangers Ball. That lead to us releasing 2 fullength albums (Temple of Life -95 and Why -97) on JVC/Victor in Japan and Rising Sun Productions in Europe. In Sweden we released them on our own Company Eternal Productions. The years between -97 and -04 I've spent mostly composing music for musicals and theatre and working on expanding my
studio Virtual Symphony Studios, but now I'm going back to doing what I love the most, orchestral metal. I'm composing together with my brother chris for the first time and I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun since my Moahni Moahna days.

See you out there
