Star Queen - Biography


Biography

The StarQueen story is very long and complicated, and there is also much mysteries and personal experiences behind it. Me and Thorbjorn decided to meet each other by our own desire, and it was more personal than professional. The story of the project is told all in the lyrics and the cover of the Faithbringer CD, and it will go on in the next album. But it is a piece of the real story without metaphors and with the real names of the heroes? Sooo, I started to sing when I was 11 in the school choir. At the same age I compose my first song with all the 5 guitar chords I knew, and I wrote a very depressive poem. Then I have visited 10 or 15 lessons of opera singing and 1 year I was dealing with piano playing. And this was all the official education about my voice. I was going to classical guitar lessons for 3 years but I had no talent and the opportunity to do what I want, so I quit. When I was 14 I had gathered my first band but it failed rather fast. I was very disappointed and I was playing alone and with some violin player and a flute-player from time to time. Then I went to the gymnasium and I started to play with 3 boys, all younger than me, mostly covers and 2 of my own songs? But then a swollen guitar-player came and destroyed the peaceful relations in the band. I left them, and the school band called Transsilvania just died. It was for gjood cuz I was invited into a new band much more advanced and organized. Finally only me and the guitar-player were left from the whole band. We made 9 songs and 1 cover version and recorded them in his own studio. The project was called Triangle but we hadn't got the luck to be managed by any music label in our country. But this was my first professional musical experience. After this project, I made a long pause for 2 years, and I was just so desperate to deal with music? But I couldn't stand to be a regular gray unit of the society, so I found a band called Thunderbird. And they were very good musicians but like everybody else - a little confused? Cuz we have been playing around gigs, some senseless covers of Maiden, Helloween, Dio and Kiss, but I just didn´t feel right in playing in the pubs. I wanted to make my own music or new songs but not covers only? Rock fans and musicians were disagree and didn't take me serious only because I am a woman. And my voice blend is too special to be accepted at once? But luckily the boys from the band supported me. I think it was great time and I studied a lot with them. My last try was just before my first contact with Lion Music. I did 2 songs in a good demo-version with a band called Mistical. This time all the musicians messed me up, and my projects and my effort? just everything. I gathered all my gjood quality demos and I sent them to some labels. Lars Eric Mattsson replied me immediately, and we began to work on StarQueen? I was alone with my lyrics, my acoustic guitar and my voice. Then he got me to know Thorbjorn and we stared to discuss ideas and it came up so great? The whole band hasn't still played together, but the result was very successful. The project came up better than I could imagine. We were sending demos to each other, when some of us had developed his part. And finally Lasse Mattsson fixed and mixed everything?
