About Me

A 40 year old bassist living in the north of Sweden. I am always in the process of creating music, sometimes the writing is influenced by other musicians, sometimes by the great and beautiful life itself. I studied music in Vienna for Les Wise, Gunther Kirschteiger, Wayne Brasel, Wayne Darling (on upright bass) and Jeff Boudreaux among others. Great teachers all of them! I graduated - 92 with a professional diploma degree. I have since then recorded and/or toured with a lot of great swedish musicians, Janne Schaffer, Lale Larson (ominox), Fredrik Thordendal (Special defects) to name a few. Now after 24 years of playing for others, I have decided to put 16 tracks of my own on a solorecording. The CD "light traveller" was finished in November 2007 and has gotten great reviews! It is soon to be available at CDBaby. Right now I am also busy working as a bassist for the Theatre, last year I did around 75 gigs with the play called "in a dark and northern place". The tour lasted until the end of october, then reherseals started for a christmas show nov-dec at the theatre house in Skelleftea, Sweden. Now, I am currently touring with the Strindberg-play "Djavla Karl!!!" If you are near by, come and check it out! ..
