Without music life would be a mistake (Nietzsche)

About Me

I was born in 1962 and study music at the University on my fourth year. It was a now or never decision for me to take up studying again and one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I really enjoy it! When I was in my twenties I was singing in different bands - and in the streets with my guitar - and recently I have been singing gospel for about 5 years as a soloist and in the choir in different set-ups. I liked the energy and the intense emotions in gospel but at the moment I am more into jazz. The songs on my profile are the first songs that I have made public and since I have been pondering over the big questions in life like "who am I and who are you and what is it all about?" most of my life and especially the last few years, those thoughts also come through in my songs. Thank you for visiting my space and for listening.
