Biography

I was born in 1981 and grew up in the little village of Kaxås in Jämtland. Music has always been a natural part of my life, and over the years it has taken me on many journeys – from my studies in arranging, composition, and choral conducting in Piteå to completing my Church Musician’s Diploma in Malmö.

 

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with wonderful choirs and musicians — first in Malmö and now in Trelleborg. Much of the music I write is shaped by these encounters: music that often grows directly out of rehearsals, concerts, and the life of the church community.

 

Some of my larger works include Requiem (2014), Stabat Mater (2015), Att våga vara (2016), 7EVEN Last Words (2017), and Missa Brevis (2019).

A very special milestone was composing a large-scale Magnificat for the 900th anniversary of Lund Cathedral in 2023.

 

A significant share of my music is, quite naturally, choral — born out of close collaboration with choirs and musicians. You can discover much of it through Gehrmans Music Publishing and my own imprint, Note Value Edition.

 

Today, I continue to balance my role as a church musician with composing new choral music. For me, music is about creating spaces where people can come together, listen, and be moved.
