About me
I was born in Borås, Sweden. Started playing guitar at the age of eleven and formed my first band in 1986. In 1992 the family moved to Uppsala where I continued with music, and in 1999 I started my company JONO (since 2022 JONO Media AB), which also became record label, distributor and marketing channel for the bands I worked with. Soon other bands also needed help with administration, bookings, printing CDs, distribution, graphic design and marketing services.
Musical projects
I am currently bassist in the metal band Narnia. Together we toured in both Latin America and Europe several times. Since 2020, I am also bassist in the 70s/80s-rock band Starmen. Over the years, I have toured in over 20 countries around the world, and been involved in bands such as Safemode, bob K, David Castañeda, to name a few. Also, I have been honored to occasionally perform with artists like Jerusalem/Ulf Christiansson, NoIcE, BIG, Simon Ådahl, Lena Andersson, Micke Fhinn, Kevin Max (dcTalk), Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine), Rob Rock, Les Carlsen (Bloodgood), and one small, but for me – an unforgettable appearance with my teenage-idols Stryper along with my band-mates in Narnia.
Since 2009 I help my brother in law as multi-instrumentalist (bass, Moog Taurus bass pedal, glockenspiel, harmonium, pump organ, piano, etc) in his band Grand Trunk Travellers.
Record labels
Besides JONO Music, I also runs the record label Adora, with artists like: Gemenskap, Viva, Christian Liljegren, Harald Høidahl (NO), Erik Runeson, Micke Fhinn, Simeon Thelander, Ida Möller, Viktoria, David Castañeda, Gladys del Pilar, etc.
In 2018 Christian Liljegren and I started the label Nostalgic Roxx, to re-launch music from yesterday – digitally. The mission is to let the world re-discover and discover great music-productions, that has been forgotten, sold-out, rare, or never released.
