About Me

Hi everybody! Thanks for pitstopping at my space.

I'm a Norwegian bass-player, I play both electric and upright. I was born, I live, and I work in Oslo. I currently study jazz performance and music-teaching at the state music conservatory(NMH). I play any style, as long as I'm having fun with the music or the people(preferably both:).
I'm currently involved in projects like Sprüdelwasser(slickjazz) , RAZOR RACER(actionjazz, check out our myspace!) , Marita B Band(singer/songwriter) , Ridge 4tet(experimental), and many more bands/projects coming and going. I also try to do as many freelance gigs that I can get hold of, so please let me know if you're in need of some toit'n'nice low-end.
Also, be sure to check out my friend's spaces, loads of good music and hairstyles. Enjoy cyberspace!
Jeez.

..
Also, say hi on the latest trend Facebook! :)
