In this episode we are joined by one of the most in-demand musicians in the world of rock and AOR — guitarist, songwriter, and producer Tommy Denander. Born and raised in Sweden, Tommy picked up the guitar at a young age and quickly turned his passion into a career that has seen him play on more than 3,000 albums. Over the years, he’s collaborated with an incredible roster of artists — from Alice Cooper and Paul Stanley to Michael Jackson and his long-standing solo project Radioactive, which always features an all-star cast of musicians from bands like Toto, Chicago, The Tubes, Santana, and so many more.

What sets Tommy apart isn’t just his technical skill, but his ability to adapt and bring out the best in any project, whether it’s a melodic rock anthem, a pop hit, or a cinematic ballad. His work has become part of the fabric of modern rock history, often behind the scenes with fellow songwriters like Desmond Child (Kiss, Bon Jovi, Cher, etc.) and Andreas Carlsson (Bon Jovi, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, etc.) or producers such as Mutt Lange (Def Leppard, AC/DC) and Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Kiss, Alice Cooper, etc.); his work is always essential in making the music world go around.
