First of all, you learn a lot while touring as much as we did then. You get good routines of performing on stage and of course you meet a lot of interesting people while touring.

Do you feel that your personal career (I think you have a band, but I'm not sure) was neglected by the fact that you were in Roxette, I mean recording, touring and recording and touring again? (Caroline WILTZ, México)

I had a band while I was touring (a 2-man band called The Breeze). We wrote material together while I was on tour. Sometimes we wrote songs while I was home between continents and sometimes I wrote songs or lyrics in my hotel room. I always brought a very small Synthesizer/Sequencer (not bigger than a VCR cassette) with me.  

What projects are you involved in nowadays? (Kimie Shimabukuro, Rio de Janeiro,Brazil)

Now I’m a “normal” person doing a normal job. I’m working in an advetising agency doing adds on a Macintosh all day long. I also have a look-alike band with a couple of friends, where I’m doing the lead vocals wearing a wig and try to look and sound like a very famous swedish artist called Magnus Uggla. The band is called Nattugglorna and we usually play 2 times a month just having a lot of fun. It’s quite a big show taking on the road, but it’s real fun. And I really like to sing once in a while. I also write some songs on my own… maybe I’ll release it someday on my own or with The Breeze.

(look at http://www.nattugglorna.nu and http://listen.to/breeze ).

Have you got any closer to your new popcareer? (Sofia, Vischan)

My new popcareer???   

What are your plans for the future? (Martina Karlsson, Halmstad, Sweden)

My future is supposed to be fun. I haven’t got any plans right now. I do whatever I like to do in life. I like to learn new things, so Internet is my real passion right now.  

I saw with the pass of the years on the CD´s that you make the choirs that you have a great voice. I will like to know what are your plans in the future with the group Roxette? (Andres Gonzalez, Colombia)

Sorry, but I don’t have any plans with Roxette. They call me whenever they want me and I’m always available for them. They are great people working with.

How do you see Roxette in a future? (Caroline WILTZ, México)

Since I’m not involved in Roxette now, it’s kinda hard for me to see their future, but I really hope they continue writing and playing all those good pop songs they do now.

Do you believe in love after love? (Sofia, Vischan)

I love love and i really love to be in love everyday in my life (whoever it’s gonna be…)

what's your opinion about the new sounds of have a nice day album? do you make this music with your band in swedish? (Alvaro y Marcelo Marques (A&M Brothers), Uruguay) 

I like the new sound. It's fresh. But I don't play that kind of music with my own band.

What makes you laugh? (Sofia, Vischan)

Steve Martin

Do you cry when you watch sad movies? (Sofia, Vischan)

Long time since I cried watching a movie. I think I’m more sensitive on the inside…

What do you think about the changing of Roxette from pop to dance. Is it only to sell more records? (Breno, Brazil)

I think that’s a natural way. But I don’t think their music is dance music, it’s just a more modern sound, the music is still pop, I think.  

What do you think about Per? (Kemerly Grau, Lima - Perú)

Per is a very nice guy and very funny too. Usually you don’t see that side of him during  interviews, but he’s great. He’s also a very talented songwriter.

What do you think about: - Björn Rosenström - Ola Magnell - Love Olzon? (Sofia, Vischan)

Björn Rosenström is weird (at least the stuff I’ve heard so far), Ola Magnell is too old for my kinda music and Love Olzon is an old friend of mine. Haven’t heard his new album, but I like his personal sound and lyrics. I sold him his first guitar and amplifier.  

When Per appear with a new song does he know exactly what he want about the music or you just improve and he gives the OK? (Myriam, Argentina)

When I’ve worked with Roxette in the studio, the music is already on tape. I’m there for the vocal parts, which usually is the last thing you do on the song. So, I really don’t know what way he works with the song… you better ask my brother Clarence, who is the one arranging all the songs.  

When I listen your music I can understand your feelings but, all your songs talk about your own experiences or about your people? (Ahmed, Spain)

Hey, I’m just a musician. I don’t write the songs. That’s a question you should talk to a songwriter bout.  

We have the same birthday, Happy Birthday!!! How long have you been with ROXETTE and why ROXETTE didn't make any self-titled album??? (Marc Justin Rivera, Philippines)

Same Birthday, that’s great. Let’s celebrate together sometime (just kidding).

I played with Roxette for about 5 or 6 years, but I’m not in the band any longer. I was exchanged after the MTV Unplugged concert. The only things I’ve done with them after that is on recordings.  

Hi, Staffan. I don´t know if you remember but in 1992 you played with Rox in a city called Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I was living there at the time and I was not allowed to go to the gig - I was only 12-but thats not the important thing. I just wanna know if you remember the hotel you all guys stayed at and what did you all think of the city-hated it or liked it? Or were you too tired to define? Oh theres more: I´d like to know what other bands the guys in the band enjoy, tho´ this may be a stupid  question...Please, one more: have any of you guys been her in brazil out of working and touring? sory if i´ve asked too much...thanx! (Julio Cesar Miranda Muñiz, Brasilia, brazil)

Don’t feel sorry asking a lot of questions… I’m here to answer…

I’ve got a pretty bad memory. We only saw the places we went to very shortly. And if I remember correct I think I only stayed at the pool (on the roof) all day writing lyrics for my own band the day when we were in Belo Horizonte. But I like Brazil. I don’t think any of the band memebers been there in private. You have to ask them whenever they answer questions like this.

I don’t know what other bands they listen to nowadays, we don’t meet that often these days.  

When are you going on tour, I wonder if I could do a video of you, cause I’m in a tv-video school. (agneta, Sweden)

And I don’t think I can answer that question. I’m not involved anymore and I was never involved in those questions before either. I was just a musician. Sorry.  

You work with advertising, what do you think is the best way to promote a CD? TV, radio, internet, busstops...? (Sofia, Vischan)

I’m only doing layouts at work. I don’t think anyone really knows the final answer to that question. You have to find new ways and solutions everyday. That’s the fun part. No day at work is like the other…  

Who had the idea that you dougther work on the last Roxette Single “Stars”? It was yours or her?, do you wish that she have a musical carrer? And if yes what do you say to she? (Sebastián Heis, Argentina)

She did a vocal part (on her own) on Pers solo album a few years ago and now they wanted a childrens choir. They contacted a music school but felt it would sound to “clean” so they asked me if I could arrange 5 or 6 girls to do the part on Stars and my daughter called a couple of her friends which I then rehearsed with at home. They all past the test. And in the studio they recorded the whole part in only one take!!! It was great.

If my kids wanna be musicians that’s up to them. I don’t care what they do as long as they like what they do. Being a musician is great fun. I’m really greatful for being a part of The Roxette band and doing the tours and recordings with them. They’re great guys and I wish them all the luck in the future.
