I am a Writer/Producer located in Stockholm, Sweden. I started out as a musician, playing with some of swedens finest. As a producer and writer I have worked with artists and writers from all over the world. I also write music for TV, film, commercials etc, with cuts in over 20 countries. Check my blog for recent projects!
I love all kinds of music, ranging from Garth Brooks to Anthrax, Hot Chip and much much more...... I also like to listen to classical stuff like Arvo Pärt etc.
The tracks in the player are some samples of my current/recent projects. "Du får aldrig vända om" is my favourite track from the Daniel Lindström album I did last fall. "There´s a song" is a song a co-wrote with Marcus Svanberg and Magnus Fridh. "Pomp and Circumstance" is a sound alike I did for the DVD release of the swedish TV-series "Hjälp" as mentioned in my blog.
Also, please check out my top friends for some great music in many different genres!
