About Me

Hans Christian presents:
MY PASSION!

I am a Danish songwriter, producer, choir director and promoter.
Songwriter:
Writing songs – that is my PASSION! When I sit alone at night by the piano, I can express thoughts and feelings through my music that I can not share with anyone. I can be just the way God created me – this is a place I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not. Sometimes these moments turn into a song. All my songs are very personal. I don’t write about stuff I have read in a book – I write about my life. My songs are being sung and recorded all over Europe, in the US, in Japan and even in Africa.

Producer:
Producing music in the studio – that IS my passion! I love working in the studio. Finding just the right mix and adding just the right instruments to make the music come to live. Right now I am producing my 4th CD with my original songs recorded by Opstand Gospel Choir. I just finished producing and writing an album for Colin Vassell (UK). You can listen to one of the tracks in my player: song 2 "Come on and praise". I couldn’t do what I do in the studio without my good friend and co-producer Andy Holtti.

Choir director:
Directing the choir – THAT is my passion! No matter if I direct 20 singers or 1500 – I just love leading them to a place in the music where the music itself becomes secondary! A place where the words of the song touches just the place inside that needs to be touched. When I direct a choir I encourage the singers to step out of the “safe zone” where they are in control. To me directing a choir is about so much more than just music!
I direct several choirs. One of them is the largest choir in Europe (to my knowledge): Copenhagen Gospel Voices with 475 voices. I am also the director of Opstand Gospel Choir, which is a kind of Danish All-Star choir. Listen to the songs in my musicplayer.

Promoter:
Setting up a big music event – that is MY passion! To be in a huge concerthall watching hundreds of smiling people singing or dancing at a music event I organized... now, THAT is a great feeling. I am not afraid to make other choir directors, singers or musicians look good on “my” stage! I believe we should help each other reaching the potential God has given us - instead of trying to compete and being the best...
I currently manage and promote close to 15 projects – gospel workshops with up to 1000 singers, concerts, recordings and much more.

Gospel music – THAT IS MY PASSION!
I work with gospel / Christian music. That means that all my songs talks about God – in one way or another. I am not afraid to tell God when there are things in my life I don’t understand! I am not afraid to tell Him when my heart is hurting... and I am not afraid to ask God “WHY?”!! I am not afraid to do that because I know that He understands me. He has been faithful to me through hard times, and that is why I can not keep quiet! He has held my hands, wiped my tears and lifted me up.

“Gospel” means “Good news” – and knowing a God who cares about me... well, if THAT isn’t good news, I don’t know what good news is.
