Björn Meyer
Born:
Björn Meyer — born in Sweden and based in Switzerland since 1996 — is acclaimed for his category-defying musicianship, expanding the sonic and expressive possibilities of the electric bass across a multitude of genres, both within and beyond its traditional role.
Initially a hobby guitarist headed for a degree in computer science, Meyer’s life changed at 18 when he first encountered the electric bass. Within five years he had completed his studies, left the world of computers, and begun touring professionally — launching a career he has pursued ever since, beginning in 1989.
