About Me



I was born in Tønder, South Jutland, Denmark. At age 11 I had lessons from a classical guitar teacher who inspired me a lot. He made me integrate the guitar and music as such in my life and it was ever since a natural part of my life. Since 2005 I study guitar at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
