MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, MUSIC TEACHER EDUCATOR

Music connects us with our feelings and brings us closer as human beings. I find it the most meaningful activity I can engage in and have pursued it for over 40 years. As a musician and composer, I am interested in exploring music broadly, creatively, and mindfully, using the moment as my starting point. I have released 20 albums of my compositions, two of which were DMA-jazz-nominated in 2013 and 2014. Music has taken me to more than 20 countries, and I have composed for various ensembles, TV series, documentaries, and commercials. Between 2011 and 2014, I had the privilege of serving as the musical director for the legendary Danish singer-songwriter and film director Søren Kragh-Jacobsen.
