Over the last few years I have had the honor of performing with a full orchestra and choir in Walt Disney Concert Hall, with big time Rock Stars in Norway, and with International Stars in Holland. It´s MUSIC! If you´re not having fun with it, you´re doing something wrong. I still get a bit nervous before I go on stage, but I think that just makes me want to give more, and I´ve learned to go with the flow and have fun with it.
The connection with the audience, and hearing their stories after a performance, there are no words big enough to explain how rewarding that is. Fortunately, over time, I grew out of the fear into enjoying the rush. To the point of throwing up before going on stage, and trying to hide while being up there. Writing songs for a band was more about the riffs and the melodies, and when I rediscovered my acoustic guitar, the singer songwriter world became more important to me since the lyrics played a bigger role. My brother introduced me to Rock Music as a teenager, and I started a Rock Band named Volvulus where I played lead guitar and did back up vocals. Working alongside songwriting coach and Berklee College of Music Online Instructor, Neil Diercks, gave piles of further insight, and co-writing with Grammy winning songwriters in Los Angeles has been mind blowing. I wrote my first song in real English in the 5th grade, and since then I have looked for ways to form thoughts, feelings and wishes into 3-3:30 minute long musical stories, through trial and error. I grew up listening to my dad´s Elvis records (he´d give me the 45 rpm singles), and I guess that contributed to giving my musical style an American feel to it. I remember loving the acoustics in the bathroom, and would sing in there for hours in my made-up version of English. 2Īccording to my parents I was singing from day 1. 3.3.3.2 Re:Scored: Epic Classical, Vol.
