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 and/or life:
“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
