Human voice is a channel for me to connect with my soul, roots, emotions, the surrounding nature, the invisible world and other living beings.
Vocalizing and singing can release emotional locks, empower, create a sense of security, soothe and cheer up.
Music touches us all. It allows us to travel to the cellular level.
That's why I feel like I have a calling to both create music with voice and support others on their unique path with their own voice.
Welcome to my site!
I am a vocal artist inspired by expressiveness, innovation and holistic work!
I want my music to touch people on an emotional level.
In my courses, I want to encourage participants to use their voice in a more versatile way, often guiding anatomy and the path to body connection. I want to support my private students individually in exactly what inspires them.
In the field of music, I work in a variety of ways as a performer, composer, studio musician, singing teacher and lecturer.
On my site you can listen to my music, watch live videos, read my musical history (CV), sign up for vocal events and get information about my bands and upcoming concerts!
A fruitful journey of exploration!
In the video above
I improvise with a voice leaning on to the Scandinavian herding call tradition (kulning), a sense of freedom and hope as my intention.
