  • Bio

    Welcome to this little space in the cyber universe!.. Feel free to take your shoes off and let your feet soak in the water..... I seem to have a bit of an ocean theme going on!.... I guess I better say a bit about me! .. I am originally from Denmark, ..which is a small but very lovely country made up of Islands. .. .. Since 1999 I have been in the UK, and have been doing some music courses here, including an HND in jazz at Chichester College, and a BMus at TVU, London. .. I am loving the music scene in London and Brighton!! .. This year I have completed a PGCE to teach music to 11-18 year olds. It has been absolutely amazing making muisic with young people.. .. At the moment I am singing in a Latin band: www.fuegolento.com you can hear some tracks if you click on us in my top friends! .... I love getting involved in various other peoples projects when time permits, and so have found myself working with French rap artist Whity, and also recording some Danish children songs for a compilation of childrens songs from all over the world. There is no way of guessing what future projects might involve! .. .. There is no “who I’d like to meet" section on this profile setting- .. So I’ll make one up:.. Most likely I’d love to meet YOU! I really like it when people want to share their music, their art, writing or daily musings with me! .. I am not looking for romantic connections, as I am lucky enough to be in love with, and be loved back by a WONDERFUL man .. .. .... I edited my profile with ..Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6..! .... .. .. .. .. .. ..
