Hello Ryan and welcome to Rocknation.
Congrats to your release of your
“Imagine Your Reality” album. How did
you pick that for the name of your solo
release what does that title mean to you?
I’ve been ‘imagining my reality’ ever since
I was a little kid, so the album title seemed
pretty appropriate. It comes from staring at
all the posters of rock stars and guitar
players that I had plastered on my bedroom walls. I would sit there, practice my guitar, and look at the posters
saying someday I’d live that life.

Please tell us about any special guest on this release and who played on it.
We were lucky enough to have many great musicians contribute to the record. 4 different drummers (Glen
Sobel, Seven Antonopoulos, Anton Korberg, and Kristoffer Folin) That gave the songs each their own
identity. People don’t realize just how much impact a drummers have influencing the vibe, feel, and end result
of a song. Other special guest musicians included Teddy ‘Zig-Zag’ Andreadis, Johan Becker, and Tommy
Henriksen who all made great contributions to the album. And of course we had the honor of having the lead
singer of Cheap Trick (my fav band growing up), Robin Zander guest vocalizing on the song
‘California Man’. Definite rock n’ roll dream of mine come true.

Your video for “Me Generation” really is very original who did
the editing and producing?
Gustav Kronfelt edited and produced the video. We really respect
what he does creatively and feel he really nailed the concept for
the Me Gen video. It was one of those things that we were just
blown away from the first cut. I’d like to invite anyone reading this
to check it out here and see for themselves -
