Early Life
JP and his younger brother Jacki Stone(Emil Petersson) grew up in Falkenberg, Sweden. As a teenager JP was in several bands, most notably SeventhFarm. SeventhFarm's drummer, Andy later went on to play drums in a popular Swedish indie band called Nervous Nellie. Growing up JP was very into 1990s grunge era music, and still cites that genre of music as being very important to him.
After high school, JP lived in Oslo, Norway with friends, he then moved to Stockholm, Sweden, before moving back to his native Falkenberg (which would lead to the start of Vains of Jenna).

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early and/or life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
