Music is life for Danish born Drummer Svend Lerche who is not only a very skilled musician but one of the most creative and passionate Drummers there is.  Coming from his almost purely classical “Haugland” Family with opera singer Aage Haugland, bassoonist Signe Haugland and his mom violinist Inger-Magrethe Haugland, Svend Grew up with Music in his veins. He was drawn to music and drums became his  center of attention already at the age of eight years old when he got he’s first drum set. From then on mom paid for lessons on both drums, piano and vocals. Svend was already as a teenager very active on the local music scene and played with Danish artist such as Gry Trampedach and as many bands he could possibly find time for.
