I graduated as a film composer from Stockholm’s Royal College of Music in 2010. My special skill is that I am a musical chameleon – I can imitate almost any music genre, from synth pop to symphony orchestra pieces. However, I always add my own twist, and mixing genres together in exciting ways is also typical of me.
I’ve also been broadening my expertise in the area of game and musical music. I like strange and slightly boundary breaking ideas and approaches. One of my favorite series for its atmosphere is Twin Peaks.
I am especially proud of the score music I composed for the Piggy animation.
