| Swedish guitarist
and composer Erik Jayce Landberg was born in the winter
of 1977. Due to his father's professional commitments, he
saw himself growing up between the Swedish countryside,
Stockholm and Switzerland. Being exposed to a constant change
of cultures Jayce developed a strong interest in art and
poetry, but had originally no interest in playing music.
However, after his mother's repeated pressure to play an
instrument like the piano or the violin, he saw himself
confronted with a difficult choice. At age 14, he finally
gave in and decided to pick up the guitar and soon after
immersed himself in composition and writing from the very
beginning. The piano was Jayce's next choice, on which he
later composed pieces like "Winter" and "Marilyn".
Being exposed to rock and classical music simultaneously,
he soon absorbed the essence of the two genres and originally
endavoured to combine them like his predecessors Malmsteen
and Uli Jon Roth. At 18, Jayce left his Swiss household
to permanently relocate to Stockholm were he joined several
bands until he finally met with singer Goran Edman (ex-Yngwie
Malmsteen, John Norum). The two of them set up to record
two songs, "Lost Without You" co-written with
Goran and the epic ballad "Marilyn" which Jayce
originally wrote as a classical music piece. The recording
was released as a single in Europe and attracted soon the
attention of record companies abroad. As a result, Jayce
signed a solo deal with Japanese record company Marquee
Records followed by the English company Escape Music to
record his debut album "Break The Spell" also
featuring Goran on vocals. The same year, Jayce also recorded two radio jingles for CBS in California and pursues his occupation as a science-fiction novelist ("Shades Of Night" published in 2005). |
