About

I write for Television, Theatre, Headphones and Dancefloor. Main work is with rapper Jason ‘Timbuktu’ Diakité and the band Damn! I have written hundreds of tracks for TV in Sweden and the USA. I’m a composer, musician or producer for more than 250 songs released on Spotify. My two best known works for theatre are ‘En Droppe Midnatt’ and ‘Blod och Eld’. I arrange for and conduct the Klubbkören choir in Malmö. I produce hiphop beats and remixes as Voz Vibrante. In the menu you’ll find examples from my different fields of work.
