After two years his father passed away and he had to drop out of school due to a lack of money.[2] In order to pay his bills he started working at a restaurant, mainly cleaning bathrooms at the Strands Maritime. Eventually he started deejaying funk, soul and disco, music that was fairly new to Sweden. [3]He also sang along to the tracks, added maracas and other percussions[4]. In 1972 he opened his own club Big Brother. He is largely credited as introducing the two turntable style of deejaying from the United States to Scandinavia. [5] He has also been credited for introducing Swedish 80’s acts like Ratata, Mauro Scocco and Lustans Lakejer to funk music. [6] He opened his second club Confetti in 1984 and has also worked as resident DJ at various other clubs through the years. [7]
Today he is retired and lives the prestigious Östermalm [8] [9]section of Stockholm. In 2010 he came out of retirement for a onetime event at the Loveboat club, celebrating the Disco era. [10]
