Born August 14th 1974, in Lindome just outside Gothenburg. Started with the piano but didn´t have the patience to learn how to read notes, and the songs we were playing in school wasn´t that hardcore either. ? I wanted to ROCK!!!

Naturally I picked up one of my father’s guitars and tried to learn the songs of my idols, like Accept, Metallica and Iron Maiden among others. I started playing with my friends and realized that most bands were looking for bass players. There were guitarists and drummers everywhere but no one really cared for the bass. I switched immediately and haven’t regretted it since! Got my first bass at Christmas when I was around 12. Played a lot with different constellations of friends, I think one of my first bands were called Black Master. We could hardly play but we had tons of fun!

In ‘94 I met Oscar for the first time and I joined Crystal Age. We recorded "Far Beyond Divine Horizons" the following year, but since the release was delayed all interest of continuing died.

Shortly thereafter Oscar asked if I wanted to join HammerFall, and you know the story; Record deal, Glory to the Brave and I quit... There was so much going on at that time and I wanted to play Thrash and Deathmetal so I did what I think was best for the band and left my spot open for someone who would give 100% for HammerFall.

10 years passed and I played with a couple of bands: None, DeathDestruction, Cans and Evergrey, but didn’t play on any albums. When Joacim called me and asked if I was interested in rejoining HammerFall, I didn’t hesitate. I never regretted that I left but I would never forgive myself if I didn’t take this chance.
