Gunnel and Torsten are Henrik’s parents, and he loves them dearly. They live in a city called Västerås in Sweden. They are both, very well deservedly, retired, after working and bringing up three kids.
Henrik
I’m Henrik, and have been as long as I can remember. I am Swedish, a real Swede, born and raised in Sweden, doing all those Swedish things.
As I grew up I was very much into music. As a small child I played the piano, and learned to play songs by ear. As I got a bit older I started singing in church choirs, and through that learned to read music properly.
At the age of 10 I started to play the cello, and I still play it regularly. I dust it off and play about 20 minutes every year, before my fingers and ears are hurting too much and I put it away. Actually, I was once planning to study singing and become an opera singer.
However, somewhere along the line something went “wrong” and I ended up studying computer science and electronics instead. And now I have worked in the computer industry for almost 20 years.
