Bror Gunnar Jansson (yes it’s his real name) was introduced to the great worlds of music before he even was born. He’s, together with his sister, the fourth generation of musicians in his bloodline. His father is a well renowned bass player who toured with jazz legends such as Chet Baker, Toots Thielemanns and Dexter Gordon.
So Bror Gunnar grew up with music as a natural ingredient of life. He spent much of his young age at jazz club Nefertiti. He spent so much time there that he got to know both staff members, other regulars and even the musicians playing there. In fact he frequented the venue so often that even some people in the staff thought he worked there (which subsequently he did, once he was old enough). Part from this he did all the typical things a young person interested in music would do, he went to a lot of different music schools and played in a lot of different bands and projects.
The years and the schools went by and after almost taking a bachelor’s degree (he failed to write an essay) as an “individual musician” at the university of Göteborg some years ago he’s been solely working with his art. He released his self-titled debut solo album (and an album with the band Serve You Right To Suffer) in 2012, which had some really good reviews, but not too much happened with it.
Then two years later he released an 8″ EP on wax (on the German indie label Stencil Trash Records, limited in 49 handmade copies that sold out in one day), and signed with French label Normandeep Blues, which later that year released his second solo album Moan Snake Moan.
