Pierre Blom

Swedish songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, born 1951. Inspired by the success of the Beatles, Blom wrote his first song at age 13. He formed Prefix with future wife Ingrid Blom (vocals, guitar, percussion) and friend Åke Eriksson (vocals) in 1970. 1974 saw the release of "Brustna illusioner", an LP recorded at home using an 8-track recorder and a homemade mixer. Although credited to Prefix, the album was mostly a one-man band effort with Pierre Blom handling most of the vocals and instruments. Since 2001, Blom is recording as Mr Krax, while songs written in his native tongue are issued under the Herr Krax moniker. By 2017, Blom had amassed a catalogue of more than 1,000 original songs.
