About Me

Hi! I'm a bassplayer, working out of Oslo, Norway.
I've been very fortunate with my gig'in experiences so far, and I've had the chance to work with some of Norways greatest!
I've toured/played/recorded with
Ray Phiri
Noora Noor
Equicez
Jacob Young
Paolo Vinaccia
Mira Craig
Nordgarden
Bjørn Vidar Solli
Nico D
Bendik Hofset
and others...

After releasing the latest album, touring Europe and all of Norway with bigbang, I left the band last summer.

One of my worst musical moments was when I almost had to play with E-Type(Swedish Euro-trash artist...). But I ended up just letting him use my bassamp...

I'm allways on the lookout for new musical challenges, so maybe we'll be jammin' some day..

Peace

Hei! Nico D needed a band, so he started a groove with Thomas from Ralph Meyers & The Jack Herren Band,  and then I filled in the blanks with some of Norways finest, and now we're ready ...
