About me

(Some but not all of it)

It was around mid april in Västerås, Sweden, I first saw the light of day. At the age of eight I got my first music education and started singing as a boy soprano in a choir. I also started playing the cello, the piano and the mandolin. I quickly took a liking to improvising and composing short pieces on the piano. Therefore, my father who is a violinist took me to a music teacher who taught me music theory, progressions and jazz improvisation.

Later, in my teens, a few friends convinced me to start playing the electric bass in their rock band. From that day on I was hooked. Now, my entire life revolved around music. I later switched to the guitar and also started recording all kinds of songs on my Tascam Porta Studio. Boy, was that awesome. Producing music by overdubbing guitars, bass, synths and drums and then hear it all together from a 6-channel tape recorder. I’m pretty sure my songs were quite bad and unfortunately, or fortunately, the tapes got lost. But those recordings were the first steps toward what I do today.

At that time I also started to sing much more and really wanted to become a pop/rock musician. In an attempt to improve my rock voice, I enrolled in the music program at Dalarö Fine Arts School outside of Stockholm but ended up singing much more classical music. I really enjoyed it and decided to become an opera singer instead. Studies at the Malmö Music Conservatory and Indiana University followed and fastforward to today, I am an operatic tenor who can’t give up on his childhood urge to compose and produce music in different genres.
