my biography

I was born 1982 in Skövde, Sweden. Moved down to Skåne with my family in 1987. Back in 1996-97 I started to listen to dance orientated music such as Faithless and Robert Miles and even some happy hardcore was evolved. When I started high school a friend introduced me to the sample based tracking program Fast Tracker II. I started to produce mostly dance tracks together with my brother Robert. Some tracks were uploaded to the legendary tracker database traxinspace.com.

On a school trip to Oslo, Norway, I bought my first real trance album (In Trance We Trust 002) and since that I have been listening to different kinds of trance. Since 2000 when I turned 18 I've been visiting clubs and festivals frequently. The classic, now closed, Club Gorgeous became my favourite place. Lots of fun nights and great DJ sets have I seen there. I've also visited big festivals such as Sensation and Global Gathering. My interest for producing music became bigger and bigger.

In 2001 I changed software from Mad Tracker II to a sequencer and different VSTi plug-ins. I started to gain support from DJ such as Michael Splint, Niklas Harding and Giorgio Ponticelli. In 2003 I ended up on a 5th place on Jon O Bir's talented competition and I received an A State of Trance play (ASOT XXL 95) by Misja Helsloot. Autumn 2004 my remix of Algarve - Seashore got air played by Graham Gold (Kiss 100) and Dave Pearce (Radio 1). The remix also received a 5/5 star review in International DJ magazine. My track Lightfields has also received airplay by Paul Kershaw on the Galaxy Network.

Because of the large numbers of producers and labels, which is killing the trance scene, I will try to move from only producing trance to a larger circle of styles (still in the EDM-scene but more house and chill). Life as an adult is making itself noticed, job and career is taking most of the time right now so the producing part is more and more just a way to relax and create something just for fun. Been listening to alot of the awesome Swedish House Maffia latley, and boy does these guys inspire me! So we'll see what comes out from my "studio" in the future!

Now I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for me. Remember: Music is in the eye (ear) of the beholder. Big thanks to my friends and the DJ's who have supported me during these years hope you'll continue with it!
