| 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 in the countryside, between 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 endeavoured 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, Vindictiv). 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 deal with Escape Music to record his debut album "Break The Spell" also featuring Goran on vocals. “Break the Spell” was a great way to introduce Jayce, and this second release sees him hone his sound to perfection and this array of songs will appeal to fans of guitar orientated rock / metal in the vein of Yngwie Malmsteen. The new release “Good Sleepless Night” sees Jayce effortlessly turning out fantastic tunes and beautiful guitar passages backed up with a great rhythm section and, of course, Goran Edman and Mark Boals (track 8 - Invasion) handling vocals. The inclusion of John Leven (Europe) on bass is the icing on the cake. Jayce has matured into a great guitar player and songwriter and this new release is a magnificent showcase of his talents, undoubtedly a great start to 2010. | |
