About Me

My first instrument is the piano starting around age 7. I also dabbled in percussion/marching band during my early teens. Started playing guitar at the age of 15 in Stavanger Norway. I excelled in playing lead guitar soon being able to play Randy Roads, and other more advanced solos by the age of 17. My main goal in playing the electric guitar was improv and to create solos modeling my favorite guitarists. No matter what I played the urge to be creative (no matter what form of art it was) had been in my personality ever since I started playing the piano. So once I turned 18 I began putting all my effort into songwriting. As of now, living in Texas, and 23 years old.
