About Me


I was born on the 25th of August 1982 in Aalborg, Denmark. I started playing the guitar when I was about 12 years old. I moved to Tromsø in Norway around that time as well and stayed there for 10 years. Now I'm back in Denmark in Aarhus, taking my masters degree in composition and jazzguitar at the Royal Academy of Music.

I'm playing in a few bands and I write music for bigband and other ensembles, and for theater as well, which is something I really love doing. I've also done a little commercial work and hope to get into writing for films, so if you think my music would fit your film, please contact me. I bet I'll share your opinion.
