As a lot of bands and performers continue to surge out of the San Francisco Bay Area, there's 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 Sven's 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 wouldn't 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.

Sven will be releasing his 2nd single soon and full length album in the summer of 2025.
