About

I'm a music composer specializing in customized soundscapes and music productions for film, theatre as well as audio branding. Clients include well-known cultural institutions and companies, mainly in Sweden but also numerous syncs in ads and movies worldwide. I have previously (20+ years) been a member/founder of swedish indie bands The Radio Dept and Korallreven, writing songs, producing, touring etc.

Songwriting credits for a number of big swedish pop acts and a major league american artist. I have also done arts projects on my own and lectured at various universities in Sweden.

Since 2016, I have focused on creating music and sound for commissions for, among others, Daniel Berlin Krog, Malmö City Theatre and the theatre company Bombina Bombast. In parallel, I have taught at universities in Malmö and Stockholm, run projects with cultural administrations and cultural institutions, and analyzed and wrote reports.

Making music is my greatest source of joy and inspiration, and it is when I am creating music that I feel most alive. Becoming a composer was a great liberation for me. I write music for others and don't have to be in the spotlight. My music is part of something bigger – film, image, or message – where it enhances or gives new dimensions. I love the variety: one day dance music, the next day something for orchestra, indie, ambient or even mello. Music is my passion in all its forms.
