Background
Dan Sundquist was born to Swedish parents in Stockholm, Sweden and grew up in Näsby Park, Rågsved, Vikarbyn, Hägersten and Vaxholm, Sweden as well as in Barcelona, Spain. Having other musicians in his family led to him developing an early interest in music and the arts. He started playing the guitar at age 7 and the piano at age 11.
After a year in Nyckelviksskolan Art School in 1976, he decided to quit art studies and start his band, called "Reeperbahn" with co-creator Olle Ljungström. They got their first recording contract in 1979. He produced his first ever album in 1980 at 21 years old.
