Bio

My love of music started early in life playing the drums and bass until the guitar took over as my main instrument. After honing my skills at Malmö Academy of Music I started freelancing in Sweden in a broad range of musical styles. That road eventually lead me to the US where I’ve been working closely with grammy-nominated, triple platinum selling artist, CAM, as her lead guitarist, band leader, songwriter and producer. Working in Nashville has also resulted in collaborations with grammy winning producer Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran), grammy winning musician Jeff Taylor (Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Paul Simon) and many others. I also play piano, organ, mandolin, banjo and most other instruments with frets or keys – comfortable in almost any musical universe from chart-topping pop to avant-garde instrumental jazz. 

Take a moment to browse through some examples of my work on this page, and let me know if I can be of service to your next musical vision.

I play Gretsch Guitars with Ernie Ball strings.
