BIOGRAPHY

To start with the present : currently living in Berlin, Germany.

@ home, Berlin, Kreuzberg 2012

The beginning :

Growing up on the small island of Fyn, in the small village of Birkende, in the sixties, in the middle of the small kingdom of Denmark, the first musical influence was the music from the radio.

The classical era of popmusic was in its thin but explosive beginning, and all the great songs from the UK and the USA streamed out of the radio among all the Danish copies of the great popsongs.

And still melody and harmony, and artists like Scott Walker and Burt Bacharach are among the top 5 of my fav artists.

Attending the local village school started at the age of 10 to play guitar and flute.

Chosen projects from the past:

In the teens, joined local bands in the nearby larger city Nyborg such as ÅRQ and Studio Grønkål

In the late 70’s and start 80’s Punk and New Wave came to Denmark.

Moved to Copenhagen in 1984, and started to play in different punk/new wave bands such as Living Sign and The Poets (Poets of The Signature).
