As a lot of bands and performers continue to surge out of the San Francisco Bay Area, theres always some that do it with a twist.Sven Soderlund, San Francisco Native son is another noted example of that and will celebrate 40 years of playing live here in the Bay Area since Feb 1985 as a guitarist in several heavy metal bands.Newly fresh to the mic stand fronting a sometimes 17 piece orchestra, Sven has found his sound he thought about as a young child besides holding a guitar.I always thought since my Mom was a singer and I knew that it was there by singing next to her on the piano bench that someday I wanted to front a band or orchestra. 8 years ago to the month of Jan 2017 Svens motivation doing exactly what his ideas were as a kid came into fruition.With a rock & roll, metal, & R&B influence growing up in the outer Mission/Noe Valley district, Sven had a very diverse musical upbringing hanging out with rockers & gangsters your mother would force you not to hang out with.It gave me street smarts and also a plethora of music tastes that I wouldnt change for anything.Big band & swing seemed to work with my vocal direction and now its becoming more popular in the last few years amongst younger people which is an awesome thing. I will continue to record and perform as many gigs as I can to just live the dream like the rest of us up on stage.
