On March 11th, 2011, an unusual event occurred. The brand new CD "Rock
Of Asia" has finally arrived in my office. The collection of songs
reflects the thoughts that I have for the ever faster technology and ego
driven society. This day was going to be a celebration for my new music.
I took my car and started listening to it. On the 4th song called “Ocean” was playing and I felt the shake.
From the moment, the eyes of the world watched the catastrophes that took
place in my homeland. I was stunned by the fact that I was listening to
"Ocean" when it hit. How the lyrics of the song display the morn of the people
who lost families, friends and homes was just beyond coincidence. So I
decided to reach out to those in need, made 11 trips to the disaster area
in the next 12 months.
And in 2019, by the time the 3rd album "The Ancinet" was released,
the world had been shaken by too many natural disasters. And the voice
of the young Swedish female environmentalist has been heard throughout
the world. And The Ancient echoes the outcry. The theme for the album is
the environmental issues and global warning. .
Rock Of Asia released the best album in 2021 to celebrate the 10th anniversary
of its first release. It's been quite a journey in the last 10 years.
