About Me

I can't even remember when I got my first pair of drumsticks but drums and music has always been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember... I played my first gig infront of an audience at age 4, got my first drumkit when I was 8 and did my first studiorecording when I was 9.

Playing live is what it's all about and I love to play good music, whatever style or genre, good music is good music!

I'm also a vintage gearhead and collect old drums and old Fender Rhodes pianos... I have 10 of them... Yeah, I know, I'm nuts! I also have my own little business where I repair and restore Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, Hohner Clavinets, Hammond organs and much more... You can check it out on www.vintagebua.no

USA trip part 1
