studied music at Lappfjärd's Folkhögskola 1998-2001.
He has played the bass, composed, arranged, and led various bands
since early teens, including Fat Funk Force and the featured musicians
on his self-produced solo CD's "tar" (2000) and Megalomania (2003.)
Between 2002 and 2004 Lemberg also played a couple of dozen gigs with
Finnish artist Poppa Joe King.
Between 1999 and 2005 Lemberg reported 250 of his own compositions
to Teosto. So far 85 of those titles have been recorded and are
publically available.
Due to physical complications Lemberg has been prevented from
playing the bass since the early spring of 2005 (with the exceptions
of two short recording sessions.)
