The music
The repertoire is a mix of my own songs and a few cover-songs, but with the majority being my own songs.

The songs mostly have a common theme, in that they tell a story of humans in different and often difficult life situations.

The music has roots in folk, country and a slight hint of pop, and is performed with intimacy, empathy and presence, in company with my guitar.

Radio
Some of my previously released songs have been played on national danish radio, and local community radios in Denmark, and has also received airplay on radio stations around the world, especially UK.

The song “Living on the street” has been song of the month on a Scottish radiostation.

Charity for the homeless
In Denmark I run a charity with 2 major purposes.
The purpose of this project is to spread knowledge about homelessness and rootlessness in Denmark as well as everyday life on the street.

In addition, the aim is to raise financial support for the homeless orginasition “Hus Forbi” (similar to Big Issue), thus making it possible for “Hus Forbi” to offer their streetpaper vendors healthy and regular meals.

The charity project has brought Me to Scotland, where I  did play 2. Oktober as a part of great nation-wide charity project at the venue in Edinburgh “The Electric Circus” as the only musicians from outside UK.
