Hey,

Hoping everybody is having a nice summer so far :) I'm currently in South Korea working with record labels & artists. Here comes a new single with Taemin from Shinee called "Flame Of Love" that I co-wrote together with my friends Kanata and Yuka in Denmark 2 years ago. It's an emotional ballad with a 3/4-feel and I also added some acoustic guitars to the production.

The video is pretty crazy with a lot of fireworks and special fx's. Check it out and I'm hoping u'll enjoy this song!

Hey all,

Hoping all is great & that u're having a nice start of the summer season so far. Here is a lil update on some new songs releases I've had lately.

The Korean girl group Red Velvet released their new single "Would U" a few weeks ago. I co-wrote this one w Simon Petren & Team Oreo and the music video has almost 5,5 mil views on 

Youtube so far. This is a motown-inspired song with quite interesting chord changes & melody.

Red Velvet also released an acoustic live version on YT which is worth checking out as well:

On the Japanese charts I recently had a lead single with rock group FTISLAND from their new album, which went Nr 1 on the Japanese chart.

I rarely do heavy rock songs but it was a fun co-write together with one of the band members & his team.

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'!

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.
