At the age of seven, during a music lesson in school, I suddenly found a way of singing that I had never been able to do before. My teacher praised me when the song was over and so I understood that I was on the track of something. Pretty soon I began singing in a choir and the year I was ten I auditioned for a special school with a musical alignment and was accepted.
  I learned some basic guitar playing and struggled to teach myself some piano but my main instrument continued to be the voice.
  After some hesitation I decided to study music at a high school named Mega Musikgymnasium and I am now completing my third, and last, year there.
  In the summer of 2007 I suddenly began writing songs and for a couple of weeks I wrote approximately one a day. During my second year at Mega Musik I got the chance to record a song and chose one of the first I ever wrote, Tune from the Despair of Fall. I was then asked to write melody and lyrics for one of Eric Ahl's composings, which was later named Demolition.
  During the fall of 2008 I began recording what would become the demo Suffer for the art together with Eric Ahl (arrangements, guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, harmonica, percussion), Ylva Frick (keyboard, percussion, backing vocals), Love Behrndtz (drums, percussion), Simon Gustafsson (bass) and Marcus Ohlsson (recording, mixing and mastring). It was released on the second of April 2009 and contains four songs (Sertrapression, Indemnity of the Insane, Timglaset and Sacrifices).
