His bass playing style has been influenced by Toto bassist Mike Porcaro, as well as Geddy Lee from Rush and John Myung of Dream Theater fame.[2]

He has two daughters and is expecting another child. He also has an ex-wife. His brother Anders is a bass player too, for Tiamat.

Before he joined In Flames, Iwers played in a band called Chameleon.
