ERELAH
Before
The year 2014 my first daughter was born. Prior to her birth I was an active musician playing in many different bands.. some more successful than others. For a while I tried to continue combining being a live-musician with being a father but I pretty soon realized that it was hard combining the two.
That same year I quit my last band and began a new journey. My wife and I bought a house and in the basement of the house I began to build my dream.
At first it was more like a storage area for instruments and such but sometime later my home-studio had begun to emerge. Parallel to this I also began to study music production both at a school and also with the help of a friend who was and is an active producer.
Present time
Here we are 10 years later and the EP Epochs has finally arrived.
On Epochs there are 11 different musicians bringing their very best to my songs. They are a huge part in creating the songs since no demos are completely finished when I bring them to new musicians. I love how everyone brings something of themselves into the music.
Epochs is only the very beginning of my new musical journey. It may have taken me 10 years to get to this point but it won’t be another 10 years to the next release. There are many songs waiting to be released with these and many more guest musicians ready to bring their A-game to Erelah.
The Song We were dancing is number 3 on the EP. The vocals of Donika and Jimmy fit perfectly together and Johan on the guitar complements my piano playing awesomely!
