For Swedish singer-songwriter act ‘a strAnger’, music has always been an eclectic undertaking. Starting out playing in bands ranging from thrash, to heavy rock to grunge and punk-rock, while at the same time honing his acoustic skills on his own and appreciating a wide range of other musical styles; ‘a strAnger’ does not worry much about genres.
Being influenced by a wide array of music based on electric-, electronic- and acoustic instruments spanning various decades, it is quite natural to use them all as compliments to each other in his music as he sees fit.

7 years was spent in China during the first decade of the 21st century, exploring and taking part in the emerging rock scence, as a solo artist and with his heavy rock outfit “The Roadkills”, but also performing with various international constellations – consisting of anything from jazz musicians to dj’s. This musical journey took him to festivals, events, rock clubs, dance clubs and outdoor stages all over mainland China and to Taiwan.
