My Story in Music Creativity
I’m a music composer, producer, artist, and sound designer from Sweden. I started my journey in music production in 1998. I have also been a music educator since 2011, teaching 1000’s of music creators in all areas of music. My vision is to help music creators master the secrets and magic of music, so that their music can reach the hearts and souls of listeners all over the world.

My Journey in Music Production
I started my adventure in music with piano lessons back in 1989 (I was born in 1981), and quickly realized that music was my true passion in life. I started making my own first tracks in a very early music software called FastTracker back in 1996, and my first real music productions a few years after.
In 2001 I used both Cubase and Reason as my main DAWs, and started to slowly build up my music tools. I switched 100% to Logic Pro in 2013 which I fell in love with and have mastered over the years. Today I have my own music studio in my home, and I truly live and breath music each and every day.
My Passion for Human Music
I have a huge passion for human performances on real instruments, and therefore I have become a multi-instrumentalist and expand my instrument collection each year. I love recording every part of my music, even MIDI parts with my MIDI keyboard, as I feel more connected to the music I create this way.
This also got me into sound design, since you can create truly unique sounds when you record them and shape them yourself. And I have created several preset packs from my sound design.
My Heart & Soul in Cinematic Music
I have produced music in many genres since I started: EDM, heavy metal, chillout beats, RnB etc. But my true passion is cinematic music and soundtrack vibe music.
I still remember the day I sat down in our living room sofa in the house I grew up, to watch The Lion King in 1994. I was in awe of the incredible soundtrack music by Hans Zimmer, and felt the emotions of the music reach deep into my heart & soul. From that moment I knew I wanted to become a cinematic music composer. And I did follow that dream, and have been making cinematic music since 2008.
