Bio

From the young age of 3, little me allready knew he wanted to be a guitarplayer. After seeing Queen on the television, my goal was fixed and so my life from then on would evolve around music. I learned to play the guitar and played in several bands as a teenager; punk, rock and metal. I also picked up the vocals which was a very natural thing to do. Growing into my teens, a curiosity developed inside of me for anything outside the convetional. I started to listen to anything I got my hands on like Indian music and Jazz, and experimented with psychedelics and philosophy. What I didn’t know then, is that I was looking for a deeper meaning.

At 18 I went to collage, studying Music Management, which I thought was a sensible thing to do. Though it thought me a lot about the market, it also fully astranged me from myself. Getting into a severe depression and personal crises I started traveling at 20 to search for answers. This led me to New Zealand where the native land, the free minded people and the hands of providence enabled me to wake up to a bigger perspective of life. All the while making music and putting my inner world into song, I delevoped a more personal way of songwriting.

What followed was a 15year long journey of searching and finding myself in life. Working through personal development and trauma’s as well as stuying the deeper understanding of life and music, I traveled the world exloring it’s many richess. As I became facinated with the power of sound and music I practiced the ancient arts of Mantra’s, Soundhealing, and Ceremony and offered my gifts of sound to the world in Singing Circles, Soundhealingconcerts, Cermonial Music Workshops and Concerts. My songwriting developed simultaniously, weaving personal songs and western songwriting, together with mantra’s and medicine songs and many worldmusic influences. After releasing a home made record and 2 EP’s, my first full length studio record was to be released in the spiring of 2018. I finally reached the momentum to fully dedicate myself to music, and had big plans. But life had a different one. Because 3 days before the release of Æ, me and my girlfriend found out we were to become parents.

Æ was well recieved by both national and international community, being a record filled to the brim with musical influences and a wide variety of ambiences. In the meanwhile my version of the medicinesong Ayahuasca Takimuyki got picked up by the medicine community and reached 129k plays. Then after an extensive tour and release of the record I fully dedicated myself to being a father, and how painfull it was from time to time: I had to let go of music. Or at least, of my identification of being a musician. In the years that followed I realised that I had fixated too much on my little childsdream of being a musician, that I was not open to so much more that wanted to come through me. Opening up and moving through this transitionpahse I am developing myself as a creativity coach and designer, discovering creativity is a flow of energy that we can harness and put into various shapes.

Surrendering deeper into the will and dance of life gave birth to a second daughter, the Creative Current, my first poetry bundle that will be published soon, and since the music is flowing again I am recording a new record “the Innerwithin” that will be released in the Spring 2022.
