About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go everywhere, experience everything, waste no time

ABOUT ME

Relatively new in Berlin, having lived until last September in Stockholm, Sweden. Working my 9-5 during the day and making music in the evenings.

Apart from that: I am a friendly and sociable person, and quite philosophical in nature who also likes a good party. I like meeting new people in new places and generally exploring the limits of experience.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't like your life, you can change it.

I haven't found my place in life yet, but I don't let it faze me. I'll keep searching and enjoying the search.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept under the stars in the deserts of Utah and Arizona.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach lots of things to do with music, especially music production - the art of getting from words and chords to a finished record.

I'd like to learn languages, and the kind of manual skills that I never had the chance to learn because I was brought up in such an academic education system.
