What motivated you to get started in music? I´ve always
liked music, it´s just something I can´t live without!
Sometimes it´s hard to express yourself with words but it´s
very different with the music.
It´s such an easy way to express your feelings.
When did you start with the music? I was about 6 years old when
I started to play piano at home.
When I was nine I begun to play flute in school and I also played
in an orchestra. I was about 14 years old when I started to make
classical pianosongs, I also wrote a lot of poems, but it wasn´t
until I was 18 and bought my first guitar I begun to combinate
music with lyrics. I was so inspired and I learned fast how to
record a song in a studio. The first recordings took place in
my boyfriend´s studio "Varion Studio" year 2000.
Except my own project I´ve been singing choirs in a band
and I´ve also been producing some music for radio-advertising.
Favourite season: Summer! =) I wish that Sweden could be a warmer
land...
Favorite TV Program: RoomService and other furnishing programmes..
Favourite Animal: Dogs =) I really would like to have dogs, but
I´ll have to wait ´til I live in a house. When I was
younger we had a big black dog with beuatiful sad eyes, she was
so nice and I really miss her..
Except the music, what do you like to do: I´m interested
in different kind of arts. Especially I´m interested in
photography and graphic design. I like to spend time with my family,
with my boyfriend and my friends. I like to be out in the nature
and I like animals a lot.

My story
Looking out from my window I see the streets outside, looks just
the same as yesterday. I take a walk under the trees in the park.From
distance I can hear some people laughing and talking, some people
are arguing, someone is crying and other people are jut walking
around quietly. Life rushes on, everybody has to buy bread for
tommorows breakfast and the clock strikes twelwe in everybodys
house at the same time. Everybody has to sleep, some sleeps at
nights, some people fall asleep on the bus, some people work all
night because they want to finish something and maybe they fall
asleep at work or in school instead. Every single person has his
own story to tell, some stories are good, some are sad, some stories
are terrible and some are lovley. Some people think they can read
other persons lifes like an open book, but in the end they only
knew the color of their hairs. Some people really can read other
persons eyes. Some people are so worried about what other people
think that they don´t have time to think about the things
that really matters. I keep walking through the town and I´m
thinking that people are very different but so the same. Everybody
needs someone to care about them, someone to talk to and someone
to take care about. A nice word can save the day, or in some cases
even a life.
I´ve like many other people been through a lot of pain
in my life but I´ve also seen many wonderful things. I´ve
got so many amazing and wonderful persons around me that makes
this life worth living. All the heavy things that I´ve been
thorugh has after all made me stronger. I believe there´s
a God watching over us, making us stronger, and carrying us when
we´re about to fall. Some moments in life are so special
that I would like to save them in a box and not be able to loose
them ever. The closest way to keep them for me is to sit all alone
with a guitar and a paper to write a song about them. Even if
I often think negativly about myself, I´m a very hopeful
and dreaming person that loves to live, to take care of those
I love and to do meaningful things like eating ice-cream, jumpin
in the bed with my little 2yrs old brother and to sing loud in
the car while driving. My songs are a way to describe my feelings
and many times also to try to describe other persons feelings.
The music that I create is buildt by feelings and if I´ve
described a little piece of a persons life in a truth and touching
way, then I´m satisfied with the music.
I take a look at my shoes. Sometimes one step to the left or
to the right can change your whole life. Sometimes all depends
on the courage, but often you don´t have much to loose if
you try. If you don´t, you´ll never know.

My diary
05.11.10 It was
a long time since I wrote something here.
I've been recording a lot of new songs. Today I uploaded one of
them. Hope you like it! :-)
05.03.08 Today
I started the recording of my new song.
Right now there's just electric guitar and song. Totally seperated
from that: Me and some of my friends have started to make a movie.
It's a lot of planning and enviroments to think about, but it's
fun!
05.02.23 I´m
now working with an other homepage for my graphical works.
Graphic design is one of my biggest interests and the projects
can keep me busy for hours.
It´s easy to get stuck in front of the computer and I almost
work until I fall asleep in front of it.
05.02.10 Finally
my homepage is ready and I´ve also finished the recording
of "The strangest feeling". It has been mixed and mastered
by Jimmy, who has been very helpful. It has been fun and exciting
recordning this song and it will be very interesting to hear what
you think about it. So please tell me by leaving a message in
my guestbook. :-)
05.01.15
I´ve been listening a lot to my Travisrecords. I never get
tired of them, they´re so amazing. My favourite is "why
does it always rain on me" It´s so tragical with such
a nice melody. I always like songs that are in the minor key.
I guess I couldn´t even write a song with just major chords.
I´ve tried but it never works out.
05.01.02 Happy
New Year! So what will be the newyearspromise for this year? I´d
better make a promise that is not so hard to keep, so I won´t
make myself or someone else dissapointed =) So I promise to record
a lot of songs, to sing and play a lot and to have fun with my
friends. That won´t be so difficult because it´s the
things I like most to do. =)
04.12.06 It has
been a lot of work with the homepage latley and I hope it´s
going to be ready really soon. It´s very fun making homepages
but I´m longing to make songs again. I can´t believe
it´s soon christmas again. It´s always nice when the
family gets together. Almost every year I celebrate christmas
at my grandparents house and me and my sister use to sing and
play christmassongs all evening.
04.11.29 It´s
funny that it´s always easier for me to write songs when
I´ve caught a cold. I get a lot of new songideas but I can´t
sing them, really frustrating. I recorded the guitars but it sounded
terrible when I begun to sing. =) I guess I´ll have to stay
inside for some days. It´s very beuatiful outside now because
they have a lightproject here in the city with fireworks, a lot
of lamps and statues of fire. I wish I could go out, but I´m
lucky ´cause I can see a lot of it from my window.
