After completing my studies at the Royal Danish music academy I worked within experimental and contemporary music, got amazing reviews from the critic and recieved several important grants and so on. Now living in Paris, I have put a question mark to the concept of music genres, insisting on that all is just music, and that we should see it as a whole in order to let the music evolve freely and without borders. For me the genre is sort of a Berlin wall in new music.
