Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My father is a musican and there for we had a lot of music instruments in my parental home. My father wanted me to become violin player, but my favorite was the electric organ. So i guess it started there. When I heard the record Oxygene with Jean Michel Jarre for the first time something happend inside of me. It was like opening new doors for me and I knew that i had to have synthesizers. But syntheseizers were very expensive things especially 20-25 years ago. The price of my favorite synth Korg Trident was 1982, 28 000 swedish kr/ 3 066 €. I was a student and I didn..t have that money :) so the music store became my second home. But I remember when I finally could afford it, and when I had the equipment at home - I was so lucky :) I have earlier played keyboard in various constalletions. But I am now working on soloprojects...
