Åland Islands (Finland), Växjö, Kristianstad and Östersund. Eriksson has also worked as a carpenter in Portugal (2010), restored a Medieval castle in Scotland (2014) and played the streets and buses of Cuzco, Peru (2015). In 2017 Eriksson released two demo albums and one EP: “As it were” (demo album), "Lonely Jim" (EP) & "If you will" (demo album) . All sales revenue from the single and the EP "Lonely Jim" continually goes to UNHCR – The UN Refugee Agency. With those releases, the eight-year collaboration between Eriksson and the record company High Gear Music ended. In 2018, Eriksson released independently the EP "Guds vän och allas fiende", which has received positive reviews in Italy and the US. The songs were written on the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea during a three-year period when Eriksson lived and studied there. The songs cover experiences that happened there. The EP is partly recorded on Gotland, partly in Stockholm. The title of the EP means "Friend of God and enemy of all", which has its origins from a pirate gang, Vitaliebröderna, who made the seas around Gotland unsafe during the Middle Ages. Their battle-cry was "Friends of God and enemies of all!” Eriksson is a member of the International music collective Kaip and is a board member of Dan Andersson-sällskapet (The Dan Andersson Society).
