About me

My musical journey started when I was six years old. An orchestra came to visit the suburb I grew up in so that all the kids could try out different instruments. I remember sitting down at the drumkit and immediately playing a standard 4/4 beat. I glanced excitedly towards my father, who shook his head in disapproval: “What would the neighbours say?” So I started playing the trumpet instead.

As I grew older, I eventually found my way back to the drums. A few years later I moved on to guitar and started singing when I got interested in girls. I fell for bossa nova and started playing the saxophone after hearing Stan Getz – Sambalero. After singing schools, choir performances, endless guitar strumming and singalongs on beaches, I eventually ended up behind the DJ decks at one of my own rave parties in 2018. Ever since the Bearshare and DC++ era and the days of burning CDs, I have been sharing the tracks and mixes I love with the people I love, so it was only a matter of time.

As a DJ and event producer, my expression is constantly evolving. I play what I want to listen to right now, and that’s what I want to share with you. If I’m into 90s trance, I simply have to throw a 90s trance party to play at. And oh boy, so many different projects it has led to!

I’ve played at a number of festivals, bars, art unveilings, afterworks, weddings, birthdays and parties. Hopefully there will be many more gigs and projects ahead.

Event producer

My journey as an event producer started early. As a 15-year-old I took the chance to throw house parties whenever my parents went on holiday abroad, and I have usually been the one in my circle of friends who started and planned get-togethers and outings.

After stumbling into a rave in the famous Technotunneln in 2016, I knew this is what I want to be doing. I applied and got to work as a volunteer at Why Not Festival in October soon after, and there I met Viktor, who was also volunteering at the festival. We organised “Hippie Open Air” together on 21 May 2017, and it became the start of a long friendship and many joint projects since.

I met Jonas Stoltz, who was festival general at Helsingborg’s city festival HX. He pointed me towards Landskrona and the higher vocational programme Event Coordinator, to learn to produce events properly. I graduated in 2020, and to this day I have carried out over 200 events of different sizes, with different collaborations, in different cities in Sweden.
