Swedish musician

Henrik Linder (born March 16, 1985) is a Swedish musician and the bass player of the Stockholm-based band Dirty Loops. Linder attended the Royal College of Music where he collaborated with vocalist and pianist Jonah Nilsson along with drummer Aron Mellergårdh. Together, the three of them formed Dirty Loops. Since forming the group, Linder has appeared on the band's debut album Loopified and has toured with artists such as David Foster and Maroon 5.

Early life

Linder was born in Sweden and started playing piano at age 4. Growing up, he listened to music that his older sister listened to, including artists such as Soundgarden since he liked the band’s use of odd meters in their songs. When he was around 12 years old, a girl he had a crush on told him that bass was the “sexiest instrument”.

Later on, at 13 years old, Linder switched to bass guitar. One of his first childhood bass idols was Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers after listening to the band’s song "Aeroplane" from the album One Hot Minute. In addition, Linder later discovered groups like The Brecker Brothers and Tribal Tech, featuring Gary Willis on bass. Gary Willis would become one of his greatest influences. Linder also started taking lessons with a local Swedish bass player, Robert Sundin. At age 16, Linder was already a busy Stockholm session musician and played with many different groups.

Linder attended secondary school at Södra Latin, and afterwards, studied jazz at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. While studying, he collaborated with his childhood friend and drummer Aron Mellergårdh. As classmates at the Royal Academy of Music, they would both practice and jam together as much as possible. Later on, Mellergårdh and Linder started working with another one of their classmates and childhood friends, pianist and vocalist Jonah Nilsson. Their collaboration event

Frog Biscuits is the first official album of the ensemble Playground English. The album contains 27 songs for children in English ranging from simple nursery rhymes to more complicated tales. This disc brought out under Indies Scope is not only useful for teaching English but at the same time is fully and album of music to be listened to. The production of the album Frog Biscuits was the work of Ondřej Galuška (Eggnoise and The Odd Gifts).

Karolína Shipstead began to write her own English songs for children in the nursery school where she taught. Her sense of melody and appropriate lyrics for kids led to the creation of a whole song collection. The texts introduce children to basic vocabulary and sentence structure and thanks to the melodic songs they will find this information easier to remember.

Ondřej Galuška later took on the arrangements and the songs were recorded professionally. The individual melodies are easy to remember and sing and at the same time tasteful. Thanks to this the album is unique not just here but even worldwide. “Particularly with English songs for kids it is difficult to find something that isn’t tasteless or poorly recorded. And yet where else is it more important than with kids to cultivate taste and a sense of beauty,” says Ondřej Galuška.

Karolína Shipstead is an artist and the founder of the English school and art workshop Playground English. She lives in Lešany near Kralupy nad Vltavou with her family who also took part in the album. The CD Playground English was produced by Ondřej Galuška, musician (Eggnoise and The Odd Gifts) and philosopher (he has just published his book Tělo hudby). Among others playing on the album are Ivan Tatar, David Pavelka (Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra) and many other musicians and children. The disc contains 27 songs, of which some have simple lyric and can act as a pleasant aid to the teaching of English, while
