Pop oriented singer/songwriter/troubadour. Swedish and french lyrics. Minimalistic music with the songs in the centre. Rock n roll or lullabies? Lyrics with humour and seriousness with modern society in focus. 

Some of the tracks here are embryos, some are demos and some are released or to be released....

Mycket här är ofärdigt. En och annan låt kanske är redo för release och flera redan släppta. Det är också ett ställe för de som kanske vill följa skapande processen...

Composer, soundscaper, improviser and pianist, based in Oslo, Norway
