MY STORY
Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of living a life full of music. In 2009, I took a leap of faith and traveled to Norway, where I met my wife. With my acoustic guitar in hand, we moved to Oslo—the heart of the music scene. Things took off and I was discovered by a Norwegian record label and I even had a meeting with a Warner Music A&R. I was a songwriter who knew how to put life’s highs and lows into words and song. But life threw a curveball—my mom got very sick with cancer, and my first son was on the way. Within a month, I lost my mom and welcomed my boy. It flipped my world upside down and showed me what really matters: life is a gift. Keep the ones you love close and It's never too late to try something new or follow your dreams or take chances cause life is way too short not too. This really pushed me to finish an album which was later released in honor of her and my boy. One of the songs ended up on TV and radio in Scandinavia and Europe. Later on, I started my own label, recording/mixing and helping other bands share their sound which ultimately led me to starting Personal Audio Engineer as a resource for audio/artist interested folks. Today, I’m still writing, producing and loving every moment I have with my family, my faith and volunteering as a guitarist at our local church in Norway.
MYÂ VALUES
It was always about having creative freedom of my art—living for my faith, my family, while still chasing what sets my soul on fire and serving people the best I can. I believe you deserve a full, rich life where you can pour time into the people you love and the difference you want to make. Family, faith, and purpose drive me. Writing a song that could change one persons life. If that makes sense then I hope we can find a way to create some music together!
