ABOUT ME
I'm actually a Dane. Born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. Here I also received my education. First at the University of Copenhagen and then my Master's degree as a singer, voice teacher and choir conductor from The Royal Danish Academy Of Music.
A late starter
I actually began my musical education rather late. As a rock/pop singer in the Danish band Paris Paris at the age of 25 I still couldn't read music like at all. But after almost 10 years of study, that all had changed.
I lived in Munich, Germany for many years. And for a while I divided my time between performances with my Danish vocal group VoiceByChoice in Denmark and various ensembles in Bavaria. I was e.g. regularly performing with Bigbands, which you can check out in my BeenThereDoneThat section.
Waking up at 30
What also happened parallel to my musical endeavours was a growing spiritual awareness.. although back then I had no language for that yet. In the meantime I have spent almost 4 decades studying and expanding my deeper understanding of what this life is all about. And yet, these days it feels like we're beginning a new world any day now. So much is changing .. all at once, it seems.
It's not merely a philosophical viewpoint on life. I feel a spiritual perspective brings a clarity as it offers a different and more nuanced understanding on our human existence. Many of the fundamental questions to life are not logical in nature, which is something that always excited me.
Life and Music
For me singing is a doorway to a more expanded state of mind. It's a way of touching the part of me that knows all is well and that life is so much more than we have been told.
Through singing and music I have come to discover a world I always knew existed but never had words for. Until now. A world where the word 'Home' takes on a much deeper meaning and where belonging has a sound and harmony. Having experienced that - it's very difficult to go back. To settle for less, I mean. And honestly .. why would we?
I don't mean to make spirituality something overly serious, quite the opposite. Love, light, laughter and kindness create the shortest distance between us and our divine nature, as far as I'm concerned.
