Another Nr 1 placement on the Global Album Chart
Tue, 11/15/2016 - 12:41pm
Hey all,
Hoping u're having a nice month so far. On the latest Global Album Chart (a weekly chart rankning the most sold albums in the world) I contributed with songs on two albums at Nr 1 & Nr 4.
I co-wrote "Two To Tango" on Arashi's album "Are U Happy". This song was co-written during my trip to Japan in May this year together with Kevin Charge & Harajuku Kidz. On this song I'm also featured on acoustic guitar, doing a few solo lines in the style of Django Reinhardt. The album has continue to sell really great also after this chart was released and is currently up at around 750k physical copies sold.
I also co-wrote the song "One in a Million" on the new Twice-album "TwiceCoaster Lane 1". Twice is currently the most popular girl group in Korea, reaching total sales of approx 200k physical copies.This song is a tribute to their loyal fans and I co-wrote it with the Thott Bros & Dani Senior. I'm playing acoustic guitar on this one, mainly rhythm & chords.
Make sure to check out the updated design/platform of this site coming in a few days. Keep swingin'!

NEW SM STATION DIGITAL SINGLE: ONEW FEAT LEE JIN-AH "STARRY NIGHTS"
Sun, 08/14/2016 - 8:46am
Hey all,
When I was in Korea in April, I had the opportunity to write with a young and amazing talent named Lee Jin-Ah. She's a singer and song writer who became popular after her succesful participation in KPOP STAR which is like the Korean version of American Idol. Jin-Ah has a jazz background and she both sings and plays piano at a very high level.
The song we wrote together with Simon Petren called "Starry Nights" is now released as a digital single by SM Entertainment's digital channel "Station". I'm very proud of this song and happy to see Jin-Ah performing it together with Onew, from the very popular boyband SHINee.
I think u guys will enjoy this one, I also played a little guitar solo in the middle of the song :) The animated video is also very cool.

Two songs released w the legendary Queen of J-Pop, Namie Amuro
Fri, 06/03/2016 - 12:07am
Hey all,
Another month has started, I personally really enjoy this time of year. Happy to announce that I have co-written the new A-side single "MINT" by the legendary Japanese artist Namie Amuro. I also co-produced this one together with my friend Maria Marcus. The track has a lot of cool 1960's inspired guitars with a surf guitar-twang and sound inspired by Dick Dale and other greats from that era.
The song was the most downloaded song in Japan during it's first week, staying on the top spot of Japanese itunes for 7 days straight. After almost three weeks, it's still at Nr 2. The song has also been used as the theme song of a popular Japanese Tv-drama called Boku No Yabai Tsuma. Check out the music video below, really cool choreography featuring Amuro and her 40 back up dancers :)

On the physical release of this song, I also co-wrote and co-produced the B-side called "Chit Chat" with Emyli & Maria Marcus.
