My story

I’ve loved making music ever since I was a child. From the age of twelve, I started playing along to the great guitar legends of rock music on my first guitar, which was decorated with flames. Not many years later, I was playing in my first punk and rock bands, and I’ve been an active member of various bands ever since. Later, my interests shifted towards jazz and world music, and my playing style broadened. I enjoy combining elements from different genres to create unique sounds.

My input in the orchestra

The electric guitar can produce a wide range of sounds, which fits in well with the orchestra’s diverse repertoire. I find it a fun challenge to find the right place for it and add something to the mix, precisely because most of the instruments are acoustic.
