for Naked Ear Records and on her 1999 EP. Since
returning to Sweden Jocke's bass grooves have
been heard backing some of Sweden's finest artists
such as Lutricia Mcneill. Jocke just completed
a tour with Sweden's dance group “Bounce”.He

track. Contact him at: joacimo@yahoo.se

a working freelance keys/piano player gracing
artists such as Heard and Iony with his tasteful,
charismatic and high energy playing. We set him

Malin Williams-Olsson (Violin)
Malin William-Olsson is educated in Cologne and
in Stockholm where she completed her studies Dec.
2005. She is one of the Concert Masters at the
Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra and a member of
the Taliscer String Quartet, based in Copenhagen.
In addition to her passion for classical music,
Malin enjoys giving her violin a whirl on “the
other side”, i.e. in contemporary music
ever so often! Anouschka had a “Devil Went
Down to Georgia” violin solo in mind for
"House of My Father", and Malin fulfilled
that vision to a T! If you need a violin that
can cry like a child and screech like the Devil,
look no further than Copenhagen! Malin can be
reached at malinwilliamolsson@yahoo.s

Voice”, D. January is actually one of Stockholm's

See This Through”, “Good Girl Gone
Wild”, and “Gonna Get Over You”
with that silky voice of his. To find out more

Real Music Studio
Per Ankvist started Real Music Studio in 1993.
Why? He was a working blues musician who needed
more money! Being a mathematical genius and a
blues guitarist made becoming an engineer the
only logical choice. Over 50 albums have been
produced in his studio, notably Sweden's blues
legend Sven Zetterberg, and the reknown blues
pianist and singer Mike Sanchez from the United
Kingdom. He is an analog die hard and most bands
turn to him for that retro warmth sound. Per can
