I'm a Guitarist, Songwriter and Producer from Sweden.
If I'm lucky You know me from the bands NARNIA and ROB ROCK (and many others:).
In 2007 my first solo-record was relased. It's simply called GRIMMARK and
the band consists of Jan S Eckert from MASTERPLAN on bass and Peter Wildoer from DARKANE on drums - and they really rock!! :)
Some guitarists that have had a lot of impact on my playing:
John Petrucci, Kee Marcello, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Morse, John Norum, Gary Moore, Joe Satriani and Ritchie Blackmore....and lately also Marco Sfogli who rocks big time!
Some references:
