I am a Danish drummer, educator and composer based in Aalborg. The last decade I’ve performed extensively throughout Denmark and internationally, playing clubs and festivals across Europe and Japan. As a performer and recording artist, I’ve collaborated with musicians including Mathias Eick, Fredrik Lundin, Kenneth Dahl Knudsen, Ahead, Jakob Mygind, Toms Rudzinskis, Per Vers, Pede B and Mund de Carlo.

Teaching has been an important part of my life for more than a decade. I teach students of all ages and levels, and I’m passionate about creating engaging, inspiring and meaningful learning experiences that are tailored to each individual student. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel seen, challenged and encouraged to explore their own musical voice.

I’ve always been extremely hypnotized and inspired by rhythm. I’m deeply fascinated with intricate grooves, polyrhythms, odd meters, and the push and pull between different rhythmic layers. Throughout my career, I have studied drums and advanced rhythmic concepts extensively with leading international artists and educators, including Kenneth Dahl Knudsen (DK), Christian Lillinger (DE), Malcolm Braff (BR), Diego Piñera (UY), Oli Steidle (DE), Esben Elvstrøm (DK), Morten Lund (DK), Søren Frost (DK), Anders Meinhardt (DK), Stefan Pasborg (DK), Henry Cole (US), and Yougev Shetrit (IL). I strive to make complex rhythmic ideas accessible, creative, and musically meaningful for students at all levels.
