Jonas is addicted to music and sound. He was born in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden in 1986. Even though not raised in a musical family he decided at the age of 14 to learn how to play the guitar, mostly to impress girls. Some years later the songwriting began. Bands were put together with friends and a love for synthesizers and music production was born.
After graduating high school, Jonas realized that the musical dream was one worth pursuing. This dream led him across the globe to the wonderful city of Sydney, Australia. Here he studied audio engineering at SAE and graduated with a Diploma of Technical Music Production in 2007. At the same period Jonas was involved in Sydney Film School where he composed and sound mixed numerous short films. He had found that composing music allowed for a vast amount creativity which far surpassed that of music production.
Jonas returned to Sweden in 2008 with newly found determination. Since he never had any proper schooling in music and was completely autodidact, getting into a composition program would prove impossible. While studying Musicology, Jonas spent his days reading up on all that he had neglected in the past.
After a few ordeals his new knowledge of music theory, in conjunction with a near redundant ammount of sound and computer experience, landed him one of the only two spots for Composition with profile EAM (Electroacustic Music). The following three years will therefore be all about composition, whether it be studies or work.
