I was into hip-hop when I was a teenager. Then I started to look for samples, and I started a long Hendrix period - I liked the drums and the beats.

I thought I had my feet on the ground, but if someone tells you every day you're going to be the next big thing then...So then if you aren't, you think, 'Have I done something wrong?'

All my teenage years my punk was hip-hop - I just hated pop music.

I love music so much that I have to try to make my own music. And not copy music.

I'm inspired to keep on when people like what I do.

I love music so much that I have to try to make my own music. And not copy music. If I hear a song that I love - how is the groove and how is the beat and what is the feeling of this? - I can make it my own. So then I try, and I watch it become something totally different. But that's the way I have to do it.

To play Swedish folk music is a lifetime achievement, but I'm well on my way.
