I have always loved music like the most of us do, and i really didn't care for any instruments in early age. But then in 5th grade at age 11 i started learning guitar, first from my aunt on vacation and then later at courses at school. I never really got any good, and im still not any star guitarist but it's good enough for me. Me singing started in 6th grade i think, when i stood in front of my class singing Elvis Presley's - Love Me Tender, wich I thought was really ackward at the time, but I liked it. So my teacher Erik tried getting me to sing more and more, but i still didn't want to do it all that much yet. So when we arranged a cabarèt the last year before high school at age 16, he wanted me to sing "Knockin' On Heavens Door". I didn't have much confidence about this but still I decided to go thru with it. Since then I have always been singing, and that song is like some of my friends say, been my trademark ever since. After beginning at high school i joined a band with Sondre, Tim, Yngve and Lars Erik. Me and Sondre made some songs and we played them alot, but also some cover songs. It was a really cool time playing in the band. My biggest audience i performed to was when i was 16. I had just begun high school and my old music teacher wanted me to come and sing with some of my old classmates. He picked the song REM - "Imitation Of Life" wich I really wasn't sure about but it turned out great! That night we played the song in front of about 1000 people in the audience. After about two years I quit the band, and kept on playing on my own. I haven't made many songs after that period, but now im beginning to feel the urge to make new songs. So i hope in the future that i can share them with everybody, here on this website! Thanks for your interest!
