About Me

Hans Kristian grew up being the youngest boy in a family of five. The family, based at Lunner, Hadeland, have always been blessed with a musical gift. And to carry the tradition on, Hans Kristian started to play the Piano, aged 7. Now he's practising the Piano and the Organ, and is used as a freelance musician.
