When were you first introduced to music? 

When I was young my parents would listen to ABBA and Andrew Lloyd Webber. I still like ABBA. I think my ear for melody started there. I remember seeing the movie Great Balls of Fire and getting insanely excited, jumping around; so that was me realising I really liked high energy music.

When were you first introduced to music?

When I was a child my parents listened to classical music Bach, Mozart and Swedish songs by Bellman, and sang quite a lot at home. Later on I learned to play a little on the upright piano in our home.

When were you first introduced to music? 

4 years old – I think it was Queen’s Greatest Hits II, along with Booker T & the MGs ‘Green Onions’. I built a guitar out of Lego and wanted to be Brian May. We had the Queen album on VHS with all the music videos and I played it so much it squeaked.
