Instrument: Bass, backing vocals

Background: Started as a guitarist and singer. Had my first band at the age of 11 and has been playing ever since. Picked up a bass about 15 years ago and started playing it for fun, but soon realised that I was better at it than I'd ever be at guitar. Since I was also a bit tired of being a front man I changed to bass fulltime and now play bass in Care of Night as well as death metal band Grand Harvest.

I first joined CoN as a live bassist but soon joined as a member, as a part of the “reconstruction” of the band during the pandemic.

Most notable earlier bands are Carnival Sun (vocals) and The Random Riots (vocals, guitar).

Musical Influences: Way too many to do a detailed list. I listen to stuff from raw black metal to heavy metal to 80’s pop and slick Westcoast. Besides the top three below I enjoy bands/artists like Magnum, Phil Collins, Warning/40 Watt Sun, Status Quo, FM, Hellacopters, Chicago, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Christopher Cross, Master’s Hammer, Gary Moore, Watain, Blackberry Smoke etcetera. 

My top three albums:

Judas Priest - Painkiller 

Toto - The Seventh One

Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

Top three bassists:

Geddy Lee

Rutger Gunnarsson 

Eddie Jackson 

Favorite Song to Perform Live: Hard choice and it can vary a bit from time to time. Of the old ones I like the drive of Your Perfection and from the last album Street Runner has become a favorite since it shows perfectly how tight mine and Linus’ playing is together.

Equipment: Sandberg (official artist) VM4 basses, EBS (official artist) Classic 500 or Reidmar 752 amp with EBS Classic 2x12 vertical cab, EBS and Darkglass pedals, Korg tuners, EBS strings, Jazz III XL picks.

Fun Fact: Me and Linus (drums) are brothers and actually had the band The Random Riots together for 10 years before we joined forces again in CoN.
