About Me

After growing up in a family that was always singning and dancing, I started playing fiddle at age 9. I always spent more time with my parents record collection of traditional music, or at courses and workshops with great swedish fiddlers, rather than practising scales and such given to me by my poor fiddle teachers...
In 2004 I was given the honorary title Riksspelman and I'm currently persuing a Batchelor degree in Swedish traditional music at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, with fiddle as main instrument.
Swedish traditional music has been, and will always be a big part of my life. From that "platform" I'm now discovering traditional music from other parts of the world, such as Irish music and the different stiles of Canadian music, wich I'm deeply in love with.
I play in several diffrent constallations, whom I've toured Northern Euroupe and Northern America with.
I love travelling, with my fiddle as excellent travel company, meeting friends I didn't know I had and having a good time.
That's all for now!
