This year’s Christmas single is dedicated to all those people who need a helping hand, whether it is the lonely teenager or the homeless man on the street. This single is a free download, but I urge you to use the money you would have spent on it on iTunes to help someone less fortunate. My donation is to Stadsmissionen who helps homeless people in Sweden. If you give a gift to them by text message you will receive this Christmas single as a cellphone signal. Use it and let your friends know that you care for those who need it.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

New video released
So you thought my last music video was retro with its 50’s theme? Well you aint seen nothing yet! This is the new video for my single “Clown” and this time I decided I would do it all by myself. So I did all the make-up and styling and filmed it (yes I used a camera stand). Then I cut it and edited it. But I’m not ready to throw away Jonas’ fabulous producer skills just yet, I did have him help me creating the “burn-out” effect on the last few frames of the vid 😉
This is the first music video I’ve ever made and the second video I’ve made..ever (you’ve probably seen the behind the scenes video to “My James Dean”). I was inspired by old pictures and the creepy sense of the circus that the TV series “Carnivale” captured so well. The entire video was shot in my bedroom (but I won’t do a Pamela just yet), and the fab hat and stick was borrowed from my friend Theresia, they used to belong to her grandpa..

Morning has broken
I’ve gotten a lot of emails asking if it’s me doing the cover on “Morning has Broken” in the TV4 Nyhetsmorgon commersial. Yes it actually is! I also play all the instruments except the lovely trombone which Kristoffer Jonsson has contributed with (you can hear more from Kristoffer on my new album). Unfortunately the whole song is not available here on my website, but I’ve been told you can find it on www.piratebay.org 😉 (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4348331)
Here’s the commersial:
