About me

As an artist, I perform and compose jazz music that seamlessly integrates the influences of Scandinavian and American traditions.

My style of music is called Scandinavian Jazz. It brings together the peaceful, reflective aspects of the music from Sweden with the syncopated, swingin', and earthy qualities of American jazz, enriched by cinematic, classical, and Scandinavian folk music.

The key artistic values for me are to stir feelings of peace, happiness, and nostalgia in every listener. I focus on crafting music that is spiritually enriching, beautifully simple, and culturally

The music on this album, featuring some of the leading figures on the Scandinavian music scene – Fredrik Lundin (sax), Thommy Andersson (b) and Bjørn Heebøll (d) – flows effortlessly through intricate written passages and improvisation, while keeping the collective, creative force at its core.
