Artist History Began playing the piano at the age of 5, composing almost immediately, singing came a bit later, around 13-14, and has since then been working for years as a lead and backing vocalist, writer, arranger and producer. Rednex´s million selling album "/Sex and violins\"is something I helped putting together (and the new one "Farm out") when it comes to vocal arrangements, and singing. I am currently working on material for a new album, and unfortunately it takes "forever", since I am a bloody perfectionist...

Press Reviews LOVE AIN´T NO LOSER. Catchy and innovative vocal percussion groove opens this piece, and promises more funk to come, and it delivers. Straight ahead pound-it-in-your-face dance/funk/pop groove settles in with authority and power. Nad has a very specific knack for capturing movement within a groove, by using but not overusing sub bass, and coupling it to a relatively simple, but utterly clean and appropriate drum programming. There is a certain Steve Winwood/Mike & the Mechanics/Peter Gabriel 80´s power synth pop touch to this, and his other great piece, Hair Down Tonight. His vocals have a gravelly, emotional appeal. The harmony vox are tight, sweeping, and full of dimension. Nad's arranging is absolutely first rate, and the execution and musicianship are full radio-ready. Why Nad.does not have pop hits in the US is completely beyond me. Exceptional work on ALL fronts. I'm becoming a very big Nad.Sylvan fan, and you should too! Songwriting: 9.2 of 10. Performance/musicianship: 9.75 of 10. Arrangement: 9.9 of 10. Recording/engineering: 9.7 of 10. Reviewed by "Llarion" Phil Traynor.
