Joy, calm and a feeling of warmth is something I wish for you as a listener. I am a Swedish saxophonist, clarinettist and composer. I like to play jazz and Christian hymns and worship songs. Improvisation is something I love to include in my music. I started playing the saxophone when I was ten years old. Me and my father who played the accordion played many hymns together in the early years. We played everything by ear. As a teenager, I later got in touch with improvisation and jazz music and started seriously practicing to become a better saxophonist. At the music college in Örebro I later got a degree as a musician and music teacher. At that time I got in touch with Rasmus H Thomsen and we started the band SE-Quartet. With this band, we have released five albums plus a number of singles and have reached the whole world with our music. One of our most successful songs is called "Song for Paris" which has more than 6 million streams. In the fall of 2024, I decided to play hymns again. I love old hymns and worship songs as they express my Christian faith. That's why we released an album called "Hymns for Saxophone" in May 2025. In the fall of 2025 I met Neff Irizarry and we started jamming together. This led to us recording an album that will be released in November 2026. Before the release we will also release a number of singles. We meet in improvisation with elements of Nordic jazz, Latin and traditional jazz ballads. I am very grateful for this new collaboration!
