How long have you been doing music?
A long time, since I was a teenager at a professional, or somewhat
a professional level. So for about 15 years.
What's your best or strongest memory?
Uh, maybe, there was this web concert I just did with Expressen. That was cool.
Otherwise, when I recorded my last CD in my own studio, that was really cool too.
What kind of expectations do you have for your new CD?
I expect people are really gonna like it and I expect to be playing a lot this summer and
to be working a lot more than I have been so I don't have to start putting out a new
album right away!
How would you describe your music?
It's pop, your standard pop music with an edge and pretty heavy influences from
older music, but still with a fresh sound.
So I understand that you play all the instruments yourself? That's a lot of instruments.
Uh-huh, drum and bass, harp, piano. Nothing, like, too weird.
But, more than anything, I'm a songwriter, so it's helpful to know all those instruments.
But can you play them all at once?
Yeah, I have to, have to, like, learn how so I can, like, dominate my recording sessions.
So I don't have to hire a bunch of expensive musicians!
No but I think it's fun to learn, I think it's fun to play drums more than anything.
Is that your favorite instrument?
Yeah, right now it is, actually. It's really fun;
there's just so much you can do with drums in a song. Yep.
So what happens next?
Now...So a new album's out, like, today. And I've just caught my breath after everything
and all the recording and stuff.
So I'm gonna play in April, tour with Salem al-Fakir,
in, uh, Sweden. And then it'll just be a bunch of festivals.
So we'll see where it takes me.
What's gonna be the most fun?
That's gonna be playing at Cirkus in Stockholm, and TrŠdgŒr'n in Gšteborg, and all the
other places. But Cirkus is a lot of fun.
