Björn was born and raised in Stockholm. His journey as freelance musician started 1989 with a wide spectrum of musical adventures. Traditional music, soundscapes, grooves and playing-techniques from all over the world have always been major influences on his music and also challanged him to develop a very personal style; always searching for new ways of expressing ideas on the bass. As a composer he also combines styles, traditions and moods to a unique form - a concept he calles “Tripfolk” or Bazaarmusic”.

In 1996 Björn moved to Switzerland and since then works as a musician and producer in many national and international projects. Together with harp player Asita Hamidi he leads Bazaarpool - a world open musicians-community and record label. The pool offers a platform for collaborations with artists from all over the world sharing a common vision of traditions and development. Except being a member of Nik Bärstsch’s RONIN he also plays with the Anouar Brahem Quartet, Asita Hamidi’s Bazaar and the swedish trio Bazar Blå a.o. As a teacher he leads workshops about bassplaying and modern aproaches to “folkmusic” and has taught at the conservatories in Stockholm, Zürich and Luzern.As a teacher he leads workshops about bassplaying and modern aproaches to “folkmusic” and has taught at the conservatories in Stockholm, Zürich and Luzern.
