About Me

I play guitar. Been playing for as long as I can remember, mostly improvised music, started out playing anything, like; piano, guitar, ukulele, tennis rackets, cans, flutes etc. Later on in my teens I begun taking guitar lessons and wanted to play blues, which led to searching for jazz and ended up finding ‘free’ improvised music, which led to what I'm currently doing. I like playing with different people and in different projects/bands, most recently with Erik Carlsson, David Stackenäs, Hal Rammel, Gary Verkade, Steve Nelson-Raney, Michael Zerang and others, both in Sweden and the U.S. Now I spend my time playing music with different people on different locations and teaching guitar and such at the jazzgymnasum in Gävle . When not enjoying music I like diving, riding my bike in the woods, and meeting good people
