biography / portrait

I was born in a little town in the southern of Sweden called Värnamo. On my 9th birthday my eleven year older brother Anders gave me the best gift ever; an LP record with Muddy Waters. At once I fell in love, and after that birthday I only wanted records from my brother, because he knew my taste. I can now see that it have affected my taste in music very much. I still love the basic elements and ideas of the blues music, but also music by the Rolling Stones, Emmylou Harris and Bob Dylan. In my teenage years I played rock with a band called Quana Rokk and when I moved to Stockholm I started the popduo Leftlane with Daniel Johansson. We released the record "Release" in 2003, but it never felt really good. Both of us felt that the composing and producing always was a compromise of our own individual taste. We broke up in the end of 2004, and that was followed by a hard time for me. My best little sister (who is my best friend) moved from Stockholm, and I felt a little bit lonesome. But one good thing resulted in our break up. I started my solo project and it feels very good. In May 2006 my debut album was ready and I hope it’s from then and now I’ll begin to write real history. Bye for now. (source: www.lenamalmborg.com)
