During his studies with masters such as Kirsten Bråten Berg, Agnes Buen Garnås and Ånon Egeland he acquired a sound basis in vocal folk music traditions from both Agder and Telemark.

He has won the Setesdal Contest for Traditional Music several years in a row.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
Jeg skulle så veldig gjerne ha kommet på konsert i Kristiansand, men toget kom litt for seint... Men hørte det gikk strålende!! Og håper dere kommer oppover her en gang, så jeg får muligheten igjen :)

Ja, det er noe av musikken jeg har skrevet og produsert. Artisten er amerikanske Kayla Chastain som jeg jobber med for øyeblikket. Ellers kommer jeg til å legge ut flere låter både med henne og andre artister/band jeg har laget musikk for, bl.a. Sarah with Secrets.
