I am a Norwegian musician, songwriter and author. Writing, recording and performing music has been a major part of my life since I was a young boy. After having been a member of several performing pop and rock bands in the mid 80s and early 90s, I relased my first solo album in 1994. My ninth album was relased in 2020. All of them are available on this website, and some via the major online streaming services like Spotify, Tidal and iTunes. My main instruments are vocals, hardware synthesizers and the piano, but I also play some guitar. I have also published five books, the latest, a collection of 20 short stories, in December 2024.

Music & lyrics
My compositions include vocals, synthesizers, electric and acoustic guitars, el-bass, samplers, acoustic and electronic drums and drum machines, sequencers, trumpet, piano, organ and whatever instrument or sound, acoustic, electronic, digital or sampled, found suitable for each particular piece of music.
Music is a proof and celebration of intelligence and creativity, having the ability to mirror the inner emotions of the human spirit, often strenghtened by corresponding lyrics. On this website you may listen to or download for free about 150 of the songs I've written and recorded. You will also find the latest news about my music, and my blog with thoughts on music and other topics.
Listen to or download my music
You may download free mp3 files via the download page for private use. Most of my music is created with little thought of the commercial demands in a music industry which in my opinion has less artistic integrity than ever.
Music videos
All official music videos are made available on my YouTube Channel. Please feel free to subscribe in order to be informed about updates.
