My dad has always been a big Ray Charles fan, and I've grown up listening to all kinds of music.
I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.
People in Sweden are very conscious of what people are saying about you.
There's always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It's so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: 'Maybe I'll make my own version of that track or maybe I'll do this or that.'
I grew up listening to a lot of Ray Charles and '60s rock, thanks to my father, and then my brothers got me in to KISS and whatnot, so I guess that's where I got my first taste for music.
House music originated in America, and it has always been around, but I guess it just got a tighter hold on Europe and other parts of the world.
