About Me

I was borned and raised in the Stockholm area, and started playing bass 1996. In 1999 I started playing doublebass and fell in love with that instrument . I´ve been studying music in in two different schools both in the north and south of Sweden, before I attended the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm in 2005. I´ve been livng in Stockholm since then. I play with several groups in the Stockholm area, to name a few; Fredrik Norén Band, Elin Larsson Group, Henrik Hallberg Quartet, Cali quartet, Musik & Sång and a new group of my own that is called "Nevskij Prospekts"".
