Biographie
Patrik Jansson, singer, guitar player, drummer, composer and producer, was born in the small town of Gävle in the middle of Sweden. He started playing drums at an early age and in his early twenties he moved to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden to study music and pursue a career in the music business. As a drummer he played everything from jazz and blues with small combos and big bands to punk-rock and metal with touring acts.
He also started playing the piano, the bass and the guitar.
2007 was time for a new challenge. Wanting to front a great blues- rock band, he formed the Patrik Jansson Band with hopes of developing as a blues singer, guitar player and song writer. “I’ve always loved to learn new things” he says. “I wanted to play blues with a more modern approach. Blues is supposed to feel fresh and alive, it’s a most vital music in my opinion. In short I wanted to play the kind of music that I would like to hear myself and that I think a lot of other people would like and appreciate”.
In 2020 during the pandemic, Patrik Jansson took a break to focus on another project that led to the release of the solo album Game Changer in 2022. For the upcoming tour 2023 a new keyboard player, Erik Harrström was brought in and back in Sweden PJB started writing songs for album number five.
A lot has happened since the start in 2007 and since the first record, and it becomes even clearer when you listen to the new album IV. "I put a lot of time and effort into making my records and I really try to make my music mean something. I try to write songs that make you feel something, songs that matter and I believe I ́ ve gotten closer to that goal with every new record and I think you will hear it when you listen to them” says Patrik.
