Janne grew up in Bromma, Stockholm, and is rather well-known within the Swedish music industry. That Janne has participated on almost all of Ted’s original albums is very important to us at Teds Universum. Kenneth’s lyrics were important to Ted. And so was Janne’s guitar music. So much that it gave their music a NEW dimension and extra spice.
