The people The bandThe music

Music is my light and movement, enjoyment and energy, music is what I wish to share. The happiness, the compassion, the energy, the unity of all people.
Looking forward to see you out there

Writing
I write the songs and the lyrics. Sometimes I hear the whole song and can record it on my phone – singing the parts. Sometimes I only have a sensation of what the song is, but the overall idea is there.

Rock since 1988
My story
In 1987 an uncle to a friend of mine brought a cassette tape from USA. The first song was Eruption. This was so different from the 80’s emo pop – it took me by storm. I guess we all have those moments. I started saving for a guitar and in 1988 (as I remember it). I bought a dark red Yamaha with a humbucker, a volume knob a small amp and a distortion pedal, that was loud as hell. Only once since then have I tried to stop playing music, but I failed. That was in 2008-2011. Then I decided to write 40 songs, choose the best and make my first EP. That was in 2012. In 2013/2014 I recorded my first EP at Medley Studios in Copenhagen. We had 4 days and 7 songs to choose from. We ended up with 5 songs. I then released 3 singles and a new EP. Today I have more than a 100 drafts for new songs. I will never get to finish them all.
