I´ve been practising music my whole life, for as long as I can remember.
With a musically active family behind me, it was quite natural that I chose this path in
life.

It all started with me learning to sing and play the piano in afro style (ie jazz, blues, R´n´B,
rock and much more), but I also got to learn playing classical music from sheet music.
When the time came to pick an instrument in elementary school, I chose the trumpet, which
became my primary focus for the next 10 years.

In high school I entered the music program, but soon discovered that the voice and
the piano became more important to me than the trumpet.
Therefore, I chose to spend a little less time on the trumpet in favor of the piano and my
own voice. At this stage in my life I also started composing my own music.

After high school, I was drafted - and to my great joy, I attained the knowledge that
the Swedish military offered training to become a music soldier!

I applied for Livgardets Dragonmusikkår (LDK)  and was granted a seat as trumpeteer in
the mounted high guard.

When my service came to an end, I took a 1 1/2 sabbatical before deciding to apply for
the Church musician program at Mellansels Folkhögskola.
I´d never played the organ before, and so I chose to first educate myself for a year at the
program for organ playing.  Then followed a few years of full-time church musician studies,
after which I decided to study at half speed - so that I could gain practical experience in the real world.

I got three (short) temporary positions in the Church of Sweden, in Västernorrland, but then applied for
one full-time position in EFS as a congregational musician.
I stayed there for 5 years, to my and the congregation's great joy!  At this point had I have managed to
compose a lot of music for both adult choir, children's choir and solo.

For personal reasons, my wife and I then chose to move south, where I - now as a fully educated Church Musician - applied for a position in Södra Vedbo Pastorate. I am still there today - and I enjoy it very much!

The idea of starting my own firm has followed me since high school, but I didn´t have the time. Until now.
I feel strongly about the line of work I have chosen to apply myself to; to contribute to people's joy and ease
their grief, when they want it and need it.

If you wish to hire me, it means that you will get a socially and musically competent musician.
My music always comes from the heart, in my opinion the only way to perform music.
