I was born in 1985 and have spent most of my days in Oppdal, a mountain village in Sør-Trøndelag, Norway. I play diatonic two-row accordion and have done so since I was eight years old. From 2001-2004 I went to a music school in Vinstra, Gudbrandsdalen. There, I had some great teachers and got to know other young folkmusicians. Norwegian folk music has always been my greatest interest and I don't plan on changing my priorities any time soon! Hence, much of my time is spent playing, both alone and with friends, and I attend folk music festivals as often as I can. At the moment I study history and English at the University of Oslo. If you were wondering: my father is to blame for my Dutch-sounding name; I concider myself 100% Norwegian (apart from half of those genes of mine of course...).
