Got back from a wonderful vacation last week and went straight into the studio to record new original material with Swedish glam rock godfather Magnus Uggla… A truly great week in the studio, great showmanship, musicianship and… FUN! 15 tracks in four days!  😎

Just got the news that “The King”, written by Fredrik Kempe and me and performed by The Playtones in Melodifestivalen 2011, was awarded with Guldklaven (the biggest dance band price in Sweden) tonight. Yaaayyy! I couldn’t be in Malung, where the award gala was held, because of a bad cold. Feeling much better now. 🙂

…after two weeks of writing, meeting and driving in LA. Spent four days with supertalented Nikola Bedingfield, who is about to lauch her own project The Golden Phoenix. Website (under construction) here: http://thegoldenphoenixmusic.com/. Now for some Swedish vacation at our summer house…

Hi, tomorrow morning I’m off to LA again, with my family this time. A little vacation, a little writing, meeting and greeting./P

“The King”, a song I wrote with Fredrik Kempe and that rockabilly band The Playtones performed in Melodifestivalen, is nominated “song of the year” for Guldklaven, the biggest award for dance band music here in Sweden…! If you like it, vote here:
