My interest in music spans multiple years, instruments, and genres. It started out with hard rock and metal, in grade school, when I first picked up the guitar. This transgressed into pop and indie in high school when I started playing the bass. I bought my first synthesizer in my early twenties, and along came a new passion for electronic music and noise. All this has formed me into a producer who can create music in a broad range of genres as well as a flexible multi instrumentalist.
I studied civil engineering with a focus on construction at Luleå University between 2016 and 2020, which led to a three-year long path of working with room acoustics, sound insulation, and traffic noise. During this time, I developed an interest in psycho acoustics and what makes a sound pleasant or unpleasant. This knowledge allows me to subtly sculpt sound that evoke desired emotion from an audience, both good and bad.

In 2023, I was accepted to the newly established Game Audio Producer and Sound Designer program at the Audio Production (AP) Academy in Stockholm — a two-year vocational training course tailored to the needs of the gaming industry. I studied game audio composition, sound design, and implementation and headed a successful final project in collaboration with students from The Game Assembly.
I love independent and innovative ideas both in games and music. Some of my my favorite games are Post Void, Hotline Miami, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Mount & Blade and the Dark Souls series. Games like these have not only been a joy to play but also inspired my taste in music and what emotions games can aspire to create as an art form. I dream to work with studios that want to push the boundaries of what games can represent and want game audio as an integral part of the experience.
