Martin, the ”musical director” of Waterloo, the band, has worked as a freelance musician since 1996, when he decided to move to Stockholm from Linköping. He loves playing all sorts of keyboards, preferably old vintage synths. He also writes and arranges music (e.g. filmscores) and has sometimes contributed with stringarrangements to the band when needed. Among artists Martin has played with can be mentioned Mats Ronander, Niclas Wahlgren, Karin Glenmark and Noice.

I have been living in Stockholm the last 15 years. Singing and music has always been an important part of my life and I´ve been singing for as long as I can remember. My musical roots (besides ABBA) steem from folkmusic, especially from Gotland, where I was born and raised. I have had my own band for several years with witch I recorded two albums and we also played as an opening act for Coldplay. I have also worked as a backed up and sung duets with several wellknown swedish artists. Alongside with my musicianship I work at a "rockgymnasium" where I try to teach my students to become new rockstars. My worst musical memory I guess, would be that time when I got a drumstick thrown right on my forehead at a rockconcert, wich resulted in a huge swelling! What truly inspires me is going to concerts, preferably at smaller more intimate venues. Besides music I have a passion for cooking and eating good food."

Jonas has been playing drums since age 7 and always wanted to be a professional drummer. Now, 28 years later, he's acheived his goal and is a busy freelance drummer since 15 years. He has worked with numerous Swedish artists including Jill Johnson, Rongedal, Tomas Di Leva, Nordman, Charlotte Perelli and many more. In addition to this he also holds a Masters of fine arts in music, a degree he´s earned at the Royal University College of Music in Stockholm. In 2003 Jonas began working with Waterloo, subbing for their regular drummer at the time. In 2005, when the opportunity arose for him to join the band as a full member, he said yes without a moments hesitation. -Being in this band allows me to play great songs with great musicians, what more could you ask for? The fact that I also get to travel all over the world and see places I probably never would have seen otherwise certainly doesn't make it worse! One of the most thrilling moments with the band was when we entered the stage at the Hollywood Bowl in front of a screaming sold out house. Instant goosebumps!
