Alto Sax, Clarinet
Why did you choose these instruments?
I
first learned to play clarinet. Then the music school bought two alto saxes. One for the teacher and one for the student. Immediately, of course, I decided that a tenor sax was better, and I had plans to switch to a tenor. A few years later I heard Charlie Parker, Kenny Garrett, David Sanborn, Per Ruskträsk, Candy Dulfer etc., and then I no longer wanted to change the saxophone.
Why do you play music?
Because I can’t help it. Kind of a habit. Good for my soul and at the same time destructive for all other basic aspects of life, such as finances, career and social life.
Tell me about the early days!
Municipal Music School from when I was 6 years old. Played saxophone since I was 14, Started in a pop band in high school where the music and lyrics had political content.
Educated at MGK Holbæk 2000-2003 and VM Konservatoriet in Esbjerg (S-mountin) 2003-2009.
