Unveiling Narratives through Music

Through live music performances, theatrical productions, and composing interactive music for games, I aspire to showcase a versatility and passion for telling stories with and through music regardless of the medium or form.

What I offer

  • With a bachelor in jazz-piano from the Royal college of music as a educational background, live music have been the biggest chunk of my artistic life for a long time. Having added guitar, accordion and electric/upright base to the mix and a long experience of crossing genres, preforming for others will always feel like home to me.

  • With a childhood filled with gaming, and passion for telling stories through music it felt natural and exiting to delve in to the field of interactive music with video-games as a focus and I’m currently studying a masters in music production at the Royal college of music. Experience in arranging and composition is a big part of why I often strive for bringing the acoustic world into the digital, but a really good electronic banger will always work for me aswell. I have a fundamental knowledge in middleware such as FMOD and Wwise and an understanding of how good music is created, so if you have a project that needs music composed; get in contact and lets create art together!

  • After graduating I found my way in to the world of theatre and musicals and instantly felt a connection. Telling a story with both the storytelling of theatre and the potential of music became a big part of my artistic world. I have been both a musician and a musical director for plays and orchestras, arranging and reducing musical parts and composing original music, so I have years of experience in the field.

  • Passing my knowledge on is a responsibility and and a rewarding quest I have. For several years I have been both teaching adults privately in for example jazzpiano, harmony, improvisation and I have developed a lot of my own material. I also have a position at Kulturskolan Stockholm both as a piano teacher and as a a subject developer to make game-music a subject young students can be a part of witch is very FUN to be a part of!

Let’s work together.
