About Me

Baritonesax, flute and have just started to play guitar for 1 year. Began professional life as a Sea Captain,but changed to become a musician. The musical energy was so strong ever since I was a child, it could not be hold back! Started to study classical flute ,first under Knut Almroth,who was the lead flute at the Operahouse in Stockholm ,then my teacher was Börje Mårelius at the Swedish Academy of Music. He was also the lead flute in the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.Eventually this resulted in a Music Teacher training course with highest marks in the musical test, wich was Carl Reinecke´s flute concert by the way. Have played chamber music a lot and performed in several flute concerts. After some time changed to play jazz,wich has always been closest to my heart.Play in different groups and situations and now I`ve started to play guitar wich is a nice thing for me and have been taking lessons for nearly a year.......2003 Started my own Jazzcafé wich has been a real hit....! Musicians I`ve played with...Jan Allan,Gustavo Bergalli,Bernt Rosengren,Krister Andersson.Filip Augustsson,Göran Strandberg.Lars Sjösten,Christian Spering,Bosse Broberg,Johan Hörlén,Hector Bingert,Ulf Andersson,Daniel Tilling, Martin Sjöstedt,Martin Höper,Tessan Milveden,Berit Andersson,Lars Åkesson,Calle Bagge, Lars Ekman,Petur Östlund,Karl-Martin Almkvist, Daniel Fredriksson, Robert Nordmark,Alberto Pinton,Jon Persson, and many more..... made with the Cosmoedit Myspace Editor
