About Me

Four years ago, after playing the guitar since an early age, I realized that the mandolin was "my" instrument. It took me places I've always wanted to go musically. Now I'm constantly trying to find new musical challenges to explore with the mandollin. Bluegrass is the genre that is closest to me, but swedish folk, jazz and pop are very attractive to me as well. I'm with a band called G2 Bluegrass Band and we recently released our first album. I'm very thankful to all the guys in G2, as you have all contributed to my musical development, thanks guys! I recently finished a recording with my former band "Gravity" which is going to be released around May 2008. I'm endorsing Flatbush mandolins, built by luthier Victor Smith. He's a great guy and a fantastic wizard with instruments! I would like to recommend all of you out there who plays the mandolin or guitar to pay his site a visit, or contact me if you're in Stockholm and you could try one of his V5 mandolins. I wouldn't trade one of his madolin's for the world :)
