Victor Banner

I was born in Málaga (Spain) and was captured by music, horror movies and comic books at a very early stage. In 2012 I formed the Stardust Reverie Project, a supergroup that compiled the talents of many of my heroes from childhood: Zak Stevens, Graham Bonnet, Lynn Meredith, Doogie White and many others. Jonas Hansson became my right hand in those days so one thing led to another and in the beginning of 2020 we joined forces with the extremely talented violinist Chereene Price in order to start working in something unique. Being highly influenced by Stephen Schwartz, Claude - Michel Schonberg and Andrew Lloyd Webber I decided to write my own Sherlock Holmes musical play. Lending a hand we find friends from the past and a few new ones like Clive Nolan, Gemma Ashley and Goran Edman among many others that have joined us in this wonderful journey.

Jonas Hansson

When I was three years old I did my first live performance singing at Amiralen, in my hometown Malmö, Sweden. At seven I started playing piano. When I was twelve, I started playing guitar. Two years later I did my first tour at fourteen years old. My band "Zaturnus" became the backing band for Inger Nilsson (Pippi Longstocking). One of the gigs were at the Pamplona Bullfighting arena,  in front of 15-20000 people. That's when I decided that, "this is what I want to do in life".
When I was eighteen I recorded my first single with my band "Silver Mountain". It was made in thousand copies. Now a collectors item.
When I was twentytwo and being one of the pioneers in Swedish metal, we got signed to Roadrunner records and did our first album "Shakin Brains". After that Anders & Jens Johansson left the band to join Yngwie Malmsteen and his "Rising Force". We did a couple of more albums and were invited to Japan to headline "The heavy metal festival in Hibiya, Tokyo". As the first swedish metal band to play live and to record a live album in Japan.

I moved to LA in the nineties and produced/engineered several hundreds of albums with various artists and also did a lot of work as a studio musician for several years. Living in LA brought me closer to Hollywood and I got involved in the movie business. Making music for trailers like: Blue crush, Hide & Seek, Legend of Zorro, Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, 28 days later and some more. Being involved in films got me more in to the combination Photo/Film and Music. "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" Won the Golden trailer award for(most original trailer). Back in Sweden I started making films, documentaries, music videos, commercials and music for various projects in the entertainment industry. Also a reunion-album "Breakin' Chains" was made with the same line-up as on the first album. I've Done several guest appearences on various records. My latest guest-appearance is on Magnus Rosen (ex-Hammerfall) (Swe) solo-album featuring: Tony Martin (Black Sabbath), Janne Schaffer (Abba) among others.
I have also released five solo- albums over the years .
