Well I guess I could post here as well...
My name is Janne, 27 years old. I'm Finnish but have lived all my life in Sweden, right now in Haparanda which resides on the very border to Finland in the North of Sweden.
I studied five years at Musikhögskolan i Piteå (music college), and work now as a music teacher (80% guitar students, 10% bass and piano students and 10% music class, 7th to 9th grade). I majored in classical piano, but electric guitar has always been my first instrument.
I play guitar in a black/death metal band called
Cryptic Death and piano in a folk music/singer/songwriter/pop band called (for the moment) Sami Bergman Band. I also sing 2nd bass in a semi-professional classical choir called
Erik Westbergs Vokalensemble.
Opeth is one of my absolute favourite bands of all time, other personal favs include Metallica (first five albums), Meshuggah, Dissection, Emperor, Decameron, Unanimated, Bloodbath, Naglfar, Arcturus, Ne Obliviscaris, At the Gates, Edge of Sanity, Dan Swanö, Scar Symmetry, Testament, Stone, Children of Bodom (first 4 albums), Katatonia, Unleashed, Dismember, Entombed, The Arcane Order, Vargavinter, Immortal, Diabolical Masquerade, Megadeth, Morbid Angel, Limbonic Art, Gehenna, Primordial, Ulver (first 3 albums), Marzi Nyman, Allan Holdsworth, Symphony X, Liquid Tension Experiment, Pat Metheny, Iiro Rantala New Trio, Väsen, Ranarim and many many many more!
Among classical music I love Bach, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff more than anything else. Chopin, Rautavaara and Mäntyjärvi are also among my favourites!
Other hobbies: soccer (Swedish 4th division), floorball (4th div. until last year), books (Tolkien, GRR Martin, Moorcock, Pratchett, Koontz, Vuorinen etc.) and movies.
