KHARMA was a highly regarded melodic Rock outfit, rooted in an 1986 formation entitled VANESSA, this act assembled by Montonegran native Dragan Tanaskovic on guitar and keyboard player Atilla Szabo, a Swedish born Hungarian. Enlisting drummer Stefan Lindgren the pair cut demos at Dragan's Bohus Studios. Although VANESSA demos elicited strong record company interest the band, having replaced Edman with Peter Wennerberg by this juncture, failed to secure a deal.

A decade later the tapes prompted MTM Music to offer a deal with the condition the former MADISON, GLORY and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN credited Göran Edman be enlisted as vocalist. Re-recording the earlier material under the new banner of KHARMA the group also pulled in the services of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN keyboard player Mats Olausson for these sessions. Bass would be delegated to Joel Starander of GEISHA and TOTEM repute.

KHARMA drummer Steve Speed (Stefan Lindgren) scored a notable success in 2000 with his unquie Rock ABBA tribute THE BLACK SWEDEN. By 2001 Edman would be heading up a fresh act entitled CROSSFADE. During late 2004 Joel Starander put in guest studio work for AOR studio project HEARTBREAK RADIO. A further Göran Edman fronted venture was unveiled in spring 2006, GEFF being the Hard Rock construct involving guitarist Ralf Jedestedt, Also pitching in would be a rhythm section of former SILVER MOUNTAIN and SNAKE CHARMER bass player Pär Stadin and drummer Anders Johansson of HAMMERFALL and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN repute.
