According to his bio: "At the age of 11 I started learning piano by listening to my favorite soundtracks while trying to figure out how to play them by ear. This slowly shaped my playing style and musical language. Today my music is a love letter to the music I grew with, inspired by many great composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Ludovicio Einaudi, John Powell, and many others. I also still arrange movie & game themes, while frequently performing them here in Sweden (Stockholm)."
