El Perro Del Mar - dog, 2006

“I am from Sweden and I received my musical calling when I was five-years-old. Although I don’t come from a musical background music was always very present in my home. I started writing songs when I was seven! My outfit name El Perro Del Mar [Spanish for the dog from the sea] came to me on a beach somewhere in Spain. It was during a crucial time in my life and this stray dog just walked up to me. There was just something very special about that moment and when I started to properly write music again, soon after, it felt very natural to name it after that meeting."
