Fred Jonny Berg and music - an inseparable entity.

Composing and creative art is a lifestyle for Fred Jonny Berg (b.1973). This has never been a conscious choice; it had to be this way. As long as he can remember, music has flowed through his mind – and Berg's lifestyle has been greatly influenced by this.

"It is really as simple as it is complicated - I breathe in what life has to offer, and breathe out what I have to offer life. I have given up trying to grasp what actually happens in the process from impression to expression."
– Fred Jonny Berg
