The Swedish guitarist Mats Bergström (b. 1961 in Gävle) grew up in Stockholm in a family of musicians. After graduating from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, a further year of study in London and a debut recital at the Wigmore Hall, he worked mainly as a session musician during the 1980s on both electric and acoustic guitar. Two years as a post-graduate student at the Julliard School in New York at the beginning of the 1990s were followed by a conscious move toward chamber music. Today he is often heard accompanying some of our most prominent singers, or otherwise as a boundless soloist and ensemble player. His discography includes "Sei Solo" (the sonatas and partitas for violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, a Tarrega album and several collections of "Song Without Words" together with Georg Riedel.
