I was born in the north of Norway in a small town called Balsfjord on the 20th of February in 1994. As the cold got too unbearable for my family we headed south after only 6 months to Kristiansand where I am raised. My interest in drums started at an early age, but I was driven more by football/soccer in my teens and played semi-pro until I was 16. Then I started at a high school that specialized in the arts and that is where I met my teacher Lars Erik Asp who inspired me to make a living out of music. Most of my high school days were spent locked in at my rehearsal space, playing in loads of bands and learning studio techniques. I now have the joy of working at my old high school part-time as a teacher and I also give lessons to private students and on tour. When reached 26 I moved to Oslo to work with Need Music, which is the leading live music provider for the corporate event market in Norway. I have a Master's Degree in Music Performance from the University of Agder with one semester at Musicians Institute in L.A. Furthermore, I am a full-time member of Arkentype & SHINING and with a very new exciting project on the horizon featuring members from Devin Towsend, Neal Morse & Maraton. I have also played as a hired gun for great artists such as VOLA, Sirenia and many, many more. With over 150 songs recorded in the last two years, I have also marked myself as a reliable session drummer and have recorded for artists such as Ross Jennings (Haken), UTN1, and more.
