I'm born in Stockholm, Sweden, and started making music and doing recordings when I was about 10 or 11 years old.
My first musical heroes were The Beatles, followed by Cream, Pink Floyd, and Frank Zappa during my early teen years.
In the early 70s, Genesis, Gentle Giant, and Jethro Tull became my main heroes, and they still are.
In the mid 70s, I started listening to fusion oriented music as well, with Return to Forever, Chick Corea, and Bill Bruford catching most of my interest.
I played keyboards in a fusion oriented band named Fido from 1978 to 1981, then in different formations during the 80s at various events.
The 80s were a bit disappointing musically, but I found pleasure in listening to artists and bands such as Peter Gabriel, Dire Straits and Queen.
The 90s were mainly spent on family and work, but I made some compositional efforts from time to time.
In 2002 I became a member of the On-Reflection mailing list, which meant new opportunities to exchange musical ideas with old fans of Gentle Giant.
I've attended the GORGG meetings in Amsterdam and Wales (www.gorgg.org), and have been involved in recording projects with members of On-Reflection since 2004.

Hej där! Shit vad vacker Still var. Gillar även konceptet med prat i den andra låten :) Hoppas allt är väl där borta i övrigt med dig. Jag har själv precis laddat upp den sista avslutande låten till min skiva som jag tänkte släppa inom en snar framtid. En aning mystiska två första minuter men jag hoppas du orkar lyssna på hela. Kramar /David

Tomas- When I hear the opening deep "D" Synth notes on "Jesterdays", it's like hearing the "long lost Gentle Giant Album"...then the Organ notes kick in..the Guitar..it IS the Long Lost Album!!! ;) Cheers, Martin
Hello Tomas, it has been so very long my friend!! I hope this finds you well, the music sounds...SO good, refreshing... I missed it!!
