    Johannes Zetterberg was born November 17th, 1985, in Stockholm, Sweden. Born to musical parents, he was exposed to a lot of music at an early age.

    "Well, being that my father's a countertenor with a soft spot for Oscar Peterson, I guess I quickly learned to appreciate classical music & jazz. On the other hand, there were groups & artists like Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Toto, Chicago & lots of others, whom I found on my mother's mixtapes. It was like discovering a gold mine with all kinds of cool music, ranging from the hits of the 60's to the boy bands of the 90's! So yeah, it got pretty diverse right from the get-go."

    He started playing the bass at twelve, and fell in love with the instrument right away. Around the same time he got introduced to Metallica & Yngwie Malmsteen by a friend, and that would turn out to widen his already eclectic taste in music, adding to the mix groups like Testament, Slayer, At the Gates, Opeth & The Haunted.
