too much to do. My interest in music all started at a very early age because I remember I liked to sing a lot when I was home. My mother always liked my singing and was listening to me while she was doing the daily things around the house. When the school started my parents wanted me to join the class choir but I was reluctant to do it, because I was very shy. But they convinced me to face my fears, so I joined. But my fear was holding me back, so I sang very quiet so the others couldn't hear me. I remember when the music teacher wanted to hear us solo, and we had to stand there in front of the class, one by one, and sing a short song while he was playing the piano. I was so scared and nervous that my voice broke and I felt that I wanted to sink through the floor. When the teacher talked to me afterwards he told me that singing probably wasn't for me. I felt really hurt, beacause my parents had always encouraged me for my ability to sing. So I started to wonder if they did just that to protect my feelings? But when I told my mother what the teacher had told me she got very angry. So the next day she went back to school with me to have a talk with him and she made me sing for him again, but this time without an audience. Now I was way more relaxed and I managed to put up a good performance. So he realized he had made a mistake by not seeing how scared I was the day before and how that effected my singing. So I could continue in the choir while trying to build my confidence. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a George Michael, very far from it, but I know that I can sing. How good? That's up to other people to decide. But at least, I hit the right pitch when I'm singing. Compare that to some of the popular artist from the early 90's until today who needs pitch correction to sound right. Myself, I only use a pitch correction plugin as an effect, not because I need it. So, as a teenager in the 80's I bought my first home stereo and that started the hifi nerd in me. I bought as good sounding equipment I could afford with the little money I earned by working in the same factory where my father was working. I remember beeing quite early in buying my first CD-player in the 80's. My music taste is very broad and I can pretty much listen to any kind of music. But there are two genres I can't stand, and that is opera and Swedish "dansbands musik". I've tried to listen to it, to give it a chance, but it's impossible for me to like it. What I really came to like in the early 80's was the disco and synthpop. I listened quite a lot to italo disco, and the band Scotch really stands out in my mind. I´m thinking of bands like Yazoo, Erasure, Depeche mode and so on. I also listened to music from Toto, Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, Europe and many many more. When songs like Blue monday, Love spy, Living on video came out it really inspired me. So I looked more and more for music that had that type of sound. That led me to get really interested in mixing. So I bought a simple mixer and turntables and started to mix at home by making different kind of mixtapes. Eventually through knowing the right people I got a chance to DJ in a nightclub in the nearby city of Helsingborg and the first night went very well. So I enjoyed doing that for a while, but couldn't help feeling that something was missing. I couldn't get satisfaction from just playing other peoples music. That wasn't enough for me. I wanted to learn how to make my own music so I could satisfy my creativity. So I bought the equipment I needed and you can see some of it in the picture here.		home.

It have taken me many years to grow enough confindence to finally put my music out there in public and put my selfdoubt to the side. So I'm not holding back anymore. Why keep it to myself? There will always be people who doesn't like what you're doing, no matter what. That's a fact of life! It's simple, if you don't like it, don't listen to it! But if you do, I will appreciate it of course! Everything I produce today you will find on sites like spotify, Itunes, youtube, Soundcloud and many more. Just do a search on any of these sites and you will find me, or follow the link below. If the music I make today makes an audience, it would be great of course, but if it doesn't, it will not change my passion to create. Now I've been living in Phuket, Thailand since 2010 and un- fortunally I need to move back because of the covid crisis. Before I was working as a PADI scuba diving instructor, but now there's no tourists here. Thank you and take care!		keep it to myself?
