About Me

Hello! I..m a saxophone player born 1981 and raised in Linköping, Sweden. I started to play alto sax when I was 10 years old and switched to tenor when I was 14.
At first, my musical training was focused on classical saxophone so that was what i practiced. At 16, I began to play in bigbands and started to listen to Count Basie, Duke Ellington etc.
In 2001 I served as a musician in the Central Army Band, Strängnäs which I think was a good experience, both musically and personally.
In 2002-2005, I moved to Lund and studied Master of Science. I played in various bigbands and smaller bands and I tried to practice the saxophone whenever I got some time off.

After three years in Lund, in 2005, I decided to take a brake from my engineering studies and to pursue music full time.
In 2005-2007, I studied at Skurups folkhögskola and currently I..m studying at the Royal College Of Music in Stockholm. I play tenor and soprano saxophone. I also play some flute and EWI (Akai 4000s). Have a nice day!
