After starting the first band Ciel with my friend Claes Isacson
in the year of 1978 and since then playing with many different bands such
as Steel, The Immediates; the coverbands Palt Fiction
and Roadcrew, to name a few, I wanted to start a music project
with my own music again. This started in the year of 2003 after meeting
the great keyboardplayer Jens Johansson of Stratovarius at the
Piteå Dansar & Ler Festival in my hometown Piteå, northeast
of Sweden. I've been for several years having trouble with alcohol, so
when I stopped drinking after that festival, I wrote the music to all
the songs on my demo "The Sacred Dragon" in one week. The experience
was like an explosion. Suddenly, with my new focus in Life, these songs
came out from the dark, so to speak. The lyrics of the first song "Into
the Shadow" is about my drinking problem.
My
big dream is to make an album and I hope that my dream will come true
one day.
Thanks
