Through many years of hard work, joy, love, frustration and setbacks, I have created over 140 songs, in English and Swedish. I continue to create in my studio outside Stockholm as long as the ideas keep popping up in my head. I am always looking for new musical collaborators. Let me know if you would like to work with me and my music.

My songs are often about life being worth living, that there is so much beauty and love in the world despite all the darkness we see. They are about being human, about longing, loss, about the difficult things, but also about the fact that it is possible to feel joy in a sad world. The lyrics are encouraging and comforting, and the music is pop/rock, sometimes with a bit of jazz chords, maybe you could call it "indie" ... with small elements of progressive rock here and there. And sometimes an occasional Swedish "visa", which is our heritage of folksongs. It's my personal style and my own expression. In some songs my faith shines through more than in others, but it is of course there as a basic tone in everything I do.

My Little Piece of Everything expresses the hope that the little things I do will mean something, that even though I haven't done anything great, I will still make a difference. I wrote it at home, in my solitude, on a Good Friday in the nineties, when my guests had just gone home. "Late Friday" are the opening words, but originally I wrote "Good Friday". The genre is jazz pop. My Little Piece of Everything has been played on Radio 1 in Malta.

So many
are all the wonders of this world
Too many
Too great to understand
I didn't build the pyramids
I didn't plant the hanging gardens
But there is something left
Something left for me

I sometimes find that I write my songs for myself! It often happens unconsciously and I notice it while I'm composing - it's about me and my own situation! As if to comfort and encourage myself to keep going. Way is such a song. A call to keep going even when those around me say it's impossible. The song came about when I saw a car with the registration WAY. If you think you can't reach the place where you want to go - listen and be encouraged. It's not too high - I can reach it!

The song No Way I Will Forget You is about loss, about losing someone important in your life. It may be that someone has left us due to a death or a separation. The song has received great reviews from a songwriting coach and an Artist & Repertoire Manager in the US, which you can read at the bottom of the page. I personally like the bridge a lot:

"Your smile has built a nest inside my mind,
your voice keeps ringing in my head".

That makes me think of my son who died.

So who have I been influenced by? Every time I get that question, I wonder how to answer. There are so many! And they are so different. Often you are influenced unconsciously, even by music you might not actually choose to listen to. But if I were to list a few names, these would be the ones: Agnetha Fältskog, Ted Gärdestad, Marie Fredriksson, The Beatles (who isn't influenced by them), Elton John, Kate Bush, Sally Oldfield, Genesis, David Bowie ...

Others have said that I sing like Kate Bush and like Sally Oldfield and I have even been compared to Patti Smith (in my low register). Someone wrote "Björk meets Cyndi Lauper". Judge for yourself ...

I do musical performances from time to time, singing both my own songs and those of others.
