I was born in Finland 11:th December 1973, In Vaasa...1 year and 1 month later (Jan. '75) we moved to Sweden, to Södertälje, We lived here since...

*Here follows a very music-minded story*
I discovered music very early, my first idols were The Beatles and Elvis. (back in '78-'80)... Then I got this LP from a "friend" with a swedish band called NOICE "Bedårande barn av sin tid", and I thought it sounded pretty cool...(Around '80)... I discovered an old Greatest Hits tape from my parents, with The Osmonds and the first song on that tape was "Crazy Horses", which I played on repeat for the most part of the time... Around the same time my cousin played me some KISS "Dynasty" and I was sold...(This was around late '80- summer '81), I listened to loads of Hardrock/Heavy metal since...(Just check my LP list) Within 2-3 years I discovered AC/DC, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe and the rest...

Fall '94 I bought a electric guitar from a friend (couldn't play a single chord back then), and learned to play (Mostly Rhythm-parts, some easier solos)... Today I can play Nirvana's "Nevermind" album, alomst every song...And loads of other cool stuff... I write own Songs and Lyrics (check other place in HP), I've learned to listen to a song and take out the chords just a minute after I heard it (I'm kinda proud of that)

I never liked school much either...well, not the last 5-6 years...*L*...I didn´t do much homework the last years, and I played truant most of the time too...*L*...
Since I got out of school '91, I've been unemployed, had loads of part-time works and computer-courses...But not a REAL job up until I finally moved to the states...I worked in a Dollar General store for 3 years and 5 months of which I was an Assistant Manager the last 2 Years
But, that came to and sudden end after me and wife got separated and I moved back home to Sweden...
Been working at Scandic Hotel in Södertälje since November 21:st 2005...cleaning rooms...hey, it's a job and I get a check once in a month...so, why complain...?

30/8 -07: Well, still working at Scandic, but nights now, I clean up the trash people has left during the day...but, hey, it's still a job...
So, I haven't played electric guitar for 2 years now, which sucks...although I bought an acoustic guitar the previous year, which I have been fooling around with on and off ever since...and I've been writing some new "hits" as well...
I met a bunch of new friends this New Year (of 2007) that I've been hanging around with...and, this year has been totally whack so far...lot of new aquantances to get to know...lot of parties (that I also missed)...lot of new (old?) music to listen too...I got my own life now as well...things seems to turn out for the better finally...but, yeah, I still get my downers every once in a while...it sucks...anyways...
