Background: Viktor (a.k.a. ÖB) joined Care of Night when former guitarist Jonathan Carlemar left the band back in 2015. Viktor grew up in the midst of Sweden, in a home where folk music and blues subtly influenced his style, though he initially found his voice in hard rock and metal. Over time, he’s explored a variety of genres, including pop, country, and indie, enriching his musical palette.
