Music is life!

About Me

One day back in 2001 I must have grabbed some old spanish guitar from my dad standing in my room and kept playing it ever since then. At some point in 2004 I decided to write my own songs instead of covering them all the time and thenceforward I’ve been trying to express and put my thoughts and feelings into small musical pieces, mainly just for myself but I hope you like it, too. So enjoy! And go check out Simon Lynge’s music (he’s in my friendslist). He’s just an awesome Singer/Songwriter with beautiful songs that you’ll love.
