He has played at such clubs as Johnny Depp's Viper Room, Whiskey a go go, Knitting Factory, Key Club, The Baked Potato etc. Pontus now lives in Sweden and is working with three diffrent bands (Therése Neaimé band, Ulla Harder and Confusion) Pontus always tries to keep an open mind and is therefore working as an independent drummer for other artists and bands.

Engborg has been able to experiment with a variety of music styles over the years - both in the studio and in live performances. However, he is best known as a groove-drummer who has a feel for Funk, R n' B, Rock, Pop and Fusion.He feels that the most important things for him are the feel, vibe, groove and time.
Pontus Engborg's style has been influenced by many different drummers, too many to mention on this website.

I believe that the drummer should mean what he/she is doing as well as bring love, attitude and respect to the music. This is what I'm trying to achieve every time I play. I turn it into my personal style by adding my own ideas and flavours ( Pontus Engborg)
