About Me

ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Washington D.C where I work at Smithsonian Folkways Records. I work with Scandinavian folk music and how to disseminate the great storytelling found in old Danish tunes.
This is also why I am in Minneapolis - to record a short documentary on the subject. I am looking for bands who are inspired by Scandinavian folk music and combines it with others genres.
I go to a lot of concerts, play music, write etc.
Back in Copenhagen I live on a boat and work on different projects - mostly within music.
