Sayit was born in Poland 1975. Three months later the family moved to Sweden. He has lived in Gothenburg since, except for a short time in Stockholm. By now, most people knows that Sayit is the given name of an inspired guitarist, not a project name as some people initially thought.
In the words of Tommy Denander (Jan 2002):
"With only 10 years since he took up playing guitar Sayit has come a very long way...mind you 10 years is not a long time to get really good at any instrument. He is already a busy full time musician fighting to divide his time between playing live several days a week and doing various recording sessions.
I'm 100% sure that he has one of the brightest futures of all guitarist out there, 'cause after having played myself for 30 years, the last 20 as a full time pro, there's not many players that scare me anymore.
I respect and love a lot of guitarists, but Sayit is turning into a real killer player that you can't afford to miss out on. Do yourself a favor and follow him and his work from now on, so you don't have to go back later and find out what everybody else is talking about!!!"

Sayit gives us the background:
"One day about 10 years ago I was home watching TV and the door bell rang. My mom opened and was greeted by a strange looking dude with military boots, torn jeans and a totally weird hair cut that I think should be analyzed by NASA experts.
He was a punk rocker and not the kind of guy I would hang out with normally, but I knew him a little 'cause we both had mopeds, which among kids meant that we automatically said hi from time to time. He told me that he and a couple of friends wanted to start a band, but had no guitarist. He asked me if I would play with them. I explained that I didn't even know how to play a guitar, but he just said "It's not hard", so we started the band Bollocks.
We played mostly punk and rehearsed in a car repair shop that was owned by a friend of our singer. A cool thing is that we taped our first ever rehearsal. I still have that tape.. If you dare to listen CLICK HERE
The band survived for two years and I bought my first electric guitar from my moped riding punk buddy, a Cort that I, well, my mom paid 150 dollars for. It was a decent beginner's guitar, but since i really didn't know how to play, I would have been satisfied with a Ukulele:-)
It was back then I got to know Nicklas Sj?berg, who was in my class at school. Like me, he was playing music, so we clicked right away and became friends over night, the kind of friendship that lasts a lifetime. I looked up to him like a God because he could play solos.
We started a glam rock band called Say It Wide and Nicklas switched to drums. We lasted a couple of years and played at a few talent shows plus recorded a couple of horrible demos. CLICK HERE to hear what we sounded like. We walked around thinking that any day we would become mega stars.. and we're still waiting:-) |
