I started to write songs in 2014. First it was a small hobby, but it soon developed into something bigger. 

I have won two competitions, and both times it's been a shared first place. The competitions were the Tonsätt Torvalds -competition in Turku 2016, arranged by Åbolands litteraturförening, and a competition arranged by Helsingfors sång- och musikförbund. Besides that I have written music for my band Ratatosk, for choirs, and for myself as a performing troubadour.

Projecst with me as a composer:

• Många röster - Many voices. I made this musical composition from a poem by Karin Boye, as a part of the Science and Art Festival Forcing the Impossible. Performed in Turku, as a part of the Aboagora Festival, in August 2022.
• Pienen tähden laulukirja - Den lilla stjärnas sångbok, sold by Opera Tellus. The book contains seventeen children's songs, composed by myself. Lyrics by Tia Svanberg. 2020.
• Löfteslandet. A singspiel for choirs, soloists and band. Henrik's church,Turku 23.4.2017.
• Löfteslandet II- Jericho Edition. A singspiel för choirs, soloists and band. Henrik's church, Turku 8.4.2018.
• Iranons Vandring. I've put music to a short story på H.P. Lovecraft, translated into Swedish by Oskar Källner. Written for solo voice and Hurdy Gurdy.
• Me and my friend and co-worker Isa have written a musical theatre play named Blåeld. I composed all the music. Due to the corona pandemic, the performance of the play was postponed, and it's still unclear when it will be performed.
• I've written a children's musical named Jul i skogen - Metsän Joulu, for Opera Tellus in 2021. It's unclear when it will be performed.
