About me:
I'm a 33 year old musician from Stockholm/Sweden. I don't know shit about My Space but all my friends has their own site so I guess I want one too!
I'm married since 2003 and my wife, Anna and I had our first daughter, Melinda, in 2004 (September 13), and our second daughter Mirjam, just 2 weeks ago (October 28). I still live in Stockholm and it's quite honestly my favourite city in the world. We got 3 cats as well. Maurice De Bracy and Isaac of York and recently also got my sisters old cat Charlie...he must be 17 years old now.
My job is also my lifelong hobby. I play guitar, sing and write the music/lyrics for my band, Opeth. We've been around since 1990 and put out 8 records and a DVD. We're pretty much touring all the time so I'll never have the chance to check this space out, yet...maybe I will??

Who I'd like to meet:
I've met one of my big idols, David Coverdale (Whitesnake/Deep Purple) but I'd like to meet him again.
Other than that, I'm still a huge fan of good music and films and would definately be starstruck if I met: Ritchie Blackmore, Joni Mitchell, Ozzy Osbourne (yeah, still!) or any of the Sabbath dudes, Anna & Nancy Wilson from Heart and Robert De Niro. And, I can't believe I forgot...Mr. Scott Walker! The one and only!!!
There's a lot of people I worship pretty much but through my job I get to meet a lot of interesting characters. One of my fave guys I've met was Sebastian Bach who used to be in Skid Row. Great guy and the funniest dude I've met in a long time!
