About Me



Bonjour!

I began and still make music to give myself energy and inspiration so I can keep trying to do all the things i dream of, i share it cause I hope it will give the same energy to others than just myself.Feel free to drop me a note or three, that..s why I..m here. If you like to collaborate, let me know, if u like the music let me know....

I play with with people i like in places we share. I..m a chef making spaghettis with sauce and soon an architect making cities with people, my days are spent in Malmoe/Karlskrona/Linköping Sweden, Hamburg/Altona Germany and Paris/Suresnes France and sometimes backpacking around in other strange places visiting people... If you like to be on my small maillist and get some videoclips, news and such once in a while, please let me know. For more info ask me all the things u wonder... hello hello! Love G
