Old Danish guy who has played music his whole life. He has played mostly as a drummer but has early learned to play other instruments as well.
He has played drums in a lot of bands playing cover songs and a few where they made their songs. He has played Rock, Pop, Jazz, and some Latin music and theater and musicals.
Next to playing in bands, he made compositions on a tape recorder where he played all instruments. Nothing has been released or published then, other than 2 Songs played in Danish radio in 1972, in a radio program called Båndbixen where amateurs could send in their music to be selected for airplay. During his life next to the daily job he still made music for himself in periods. After the start of digital music-making and the possibility of distributing music as a home studio musician, he has distributed a lot of his songs to the world. He has his very own style, based on inspiration from music from the ‘80s to now. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, Led Zeppelin, and others as his inspiration then. In 2018 he quit his daily job and started making music every day. He composes in many genres besides Rock he also does Jazz, Symphonic Rock, Latin inspired Rhythmic, and many other rhythmic genres.
