“
I’ve never been so nervous before anything before. I like being nervous before shows, but there’s a fine line when it’s crossing over to feeling sick and just wanting to throw up and never show yourself to the world again. That kind of nervousness has been my home the last days. I don’t know if it was because of the fact that suddenly it’s not just about me and my music anymore. It feels bigger than that. There are suddenly people counting on me. Expecting me to be the way they want me to be. The fact that this was the first show when people actually travelled and came to see me. There is suddenly pressure. Opinions and expectations. My band was amazing and they always make me feel comfortable with who I am and with my music. They stayed calm and they are truly representing the most passionate and talented part of the musical world. But I still couldn’t relax and I was scared. Scared of making empty promises and then not being able to live up to them.
Right before I went on stage I went back to the little chat-place online to see what you were chatting about, and was met by the most amazing words, familiar names and just pure, honest love and people. I’m corny, but seeing how you were with me, even though a lot of us aren’t even living in the same time-zone, how you pushed me and just had my back. The way it felt like it was us against the world. It wasn’t me against those doubters, it was us against them, and I didn’t feel alone anymore. I was a part of something bigger.
I’ve never felt so at home as I did on that stage last night, and I’ve never been so connected to music. And to go back to the chat afterwards, and see how you were talking to each other, connecting and just are so beautiful and personal made me feel like a part of something bigger. Like a family. A comunity. I’ve said this before, but this isn’t about me and my music, we’re in this together and your part in this is just as big as mine. So thank you. Thank you for giving me the best night of my life and for making me believe.

*********************************
I'm an organized mess. I can't sleep at night. I believe in heaven, but I also believe that you're not let in there if you haven't lived to the fullest. I make mistakes and I mess up a lot. I'm having some trouble accepting myself and I'm afraid of not being good enough. I believe in the future, for I have seen yesterday, and I'm still alive . I laugh a lot, and I'm easily amused, but also easily bored, mostly with myself. I believe in ghosts, and I’m afraid of becoming one. I have trust issues and I remember every single word from conversations. A year ago I moved and left everything I had built for 19 years. I've spent a year in solitude, with my mind and my music, writing down the story of my life. I learned how to build my home in my music. When I sing, I'm not scared anymore. I want this to mean something. I believe in writing your own story, and that's what I'm doing here. I stopped making sense a long time ago. I'm mostly insecure, but when I really want something I can find a way to get it. I turn everything into a battle because I love the sound of winning. This is my way of saying, I did not come here to lose. You tell me no, and I’ll say “watch me”.
I'm a glass child. I'm still creepy little me.

" A year ago I moved to London to prove to myself that I can live my life on my own terms. Since then I've started my own record label "Broken Glass Records", produced and released my debut-EP in May, played at famous venues all over London, and in September I released a charity-single for a cancer-organizationg, to support young victims of the disease. The song “I Will Lead You Home" exploded and reaching #2 on the Swedish Itunes chart. In November I played my first show in the states, New York, and December 5th I'm releasing my 2nd EP "This Is How Ghosts Are Made". I believe in writing your own story, and that's what I'm doing here. I want to prove to people that you can become whoever you want to be, if you just want it bad enough. I'd like to show you that you can turn all those things you hate about yourself, into art.
I'd like you to do this journey with me: What we can do to show the world about our belief in music: - Spread, share, post and tell all your friends about my music. Share it on facebook, twitter, your blog etc. - Buy my music and help me afford to record a full-length. - Be who you are and dream bigger than everbody else.
