I am perhaps best known as the keybord player in the progressive /symphonic rock band "The Flower Kings". But since 1996 I have also released 6 solo albums.



First out was "AN ORDINARY NIGHT IN MY ORDINARY LIFE" (1999). I was really suprised by the good respons The album was produced by Roine Stolt and also released on his own label "Foxtrot Music". The lineup was.Jaime Salazar DrumsMichael Stolt BassOve Eriksson BassRoine Stolt GuitarsHasse Bruniusson Perc, Drums & Bicycle wheel!



From there there I spent a lot of time working with several Flower Kings albums. Also I did work a lot at different theathers such as The Royal National Theather of Drama (Dramaten), Riksteatern, Upsala Stadsteater. I also took part in a couple of movies.(no major Hollywood release with Julia Roberts.I guess I have to watch Nothing Hill one more time )



At 2002 I decided to make my 2nd album "PINUP GURU". I wanted it to sound a little bit like ELP so I kept in within a trio format. Keyz, Drms and Bass. The lineup.



Jonas Reingoldt Bass



and the eminent drummer Zoltan Csörsz



One year later SONIC BOULEVARD saw the daylight. At first, Roine Stolt and I decided to record a sort of ambient project. I came up with the name Sonic Boulevard. However for different reasons we didnt finish this idea. Instead I made this semi-ambient/progressive album on my own. Its a lot of afro-influences and one theme is working as an idé fix

Next project was something really odd! I invented a fake band and I called it THE SWEDISH FAMILY. Then I released the album Vintage Prog-The best of Swedish Family. Hmmm this was quite funsome people actully believed in the story. A journalist also claimed he saw that band back in the 70.ies. Great fun!! The music was very much in the tradtion of Swedish folkrock.

2 years later I decided to release a full production record. This time I wanted to make a bigger production with vocals, lyrics, concept.yeah why not make a rockopera!!!??? The concept idea included 3 albums. First out, I AM was me looking at myself in a sort of biographical way. YOU ARE (release spring 2009) is going to be me looking at You. I (go ahead read the lyrics at the blogs)HE SHE IT IS will be a story about love from different angels. Jealousy, Homosexuality, Wife beaters and more. The lineup for I AM was;



Marcus Liliequist Drums (The Cow is Marcus Dearest pet!)



Jonas Reingoldt BassJocke JJ Marsh GuitarsAnders Jansson VocalsHelene Schönning VocalsPernilla Bodin Vocals



Next album was"Cinematograaph" (2008). I did release it on my own label "Helikon House". This album is 100% keyboard and keyboard only. I wanted the music to be suitable for movies. So prepare yourself for some heavy Dreamscapes.



Moondiver



Then ofc there is always different side-projects. I have been working as a producer for different groups/artists. Moonsafari and the album "Doorway to Summer"was recived very well among the progfans.

Last year I produced Lenehs album "Här" (Swedish Lyrics) and together with Jonas Reingold also the Dutch group Moondiver. Leneh is played on Swedish National radio every day.



Here are some new videoclips. Enjoy:)
