My Musical Career:
I began singing back in ’89, when these friends of mine in my youth club were playing some cover songs in the basement rehearsal room ( I think it was more of smoking joints than playing music, hehe). Well, I just grabbed the mike, and began screaming my lungs out (I couldn’t sing at all). It happened, that we agreed upon me trying out the vocal spot, and I immediately began taking some singing lessons. The music was more or less rock n’ roll a la D:A:D, The Cult, The Black Crowes, Led Zeppelin etc., but it was fun, and in the 3 year period of that band, I got the stage experience that helps me to be cool and calm on stage today! The band broke up in ’92 and I began singing in a band called Fear Itself (where Kristian also played). That band lasted 4 years, and in those 4 years I actually learned how to sing, and also developed the style that I have. And so, in ’96 as we broke up, Kristian and I found Mads…and the rest is history… :-)
Favorite Books:
HYPERION / THE FALL OF HYPERION / ENDYMION / THE RISE OF ENDYMION by American author Dan Simmons. No doubt about it: These 4 novels as one, is the best book I have ever read. And it’s also the book I have read the most times (6).!!!!!!
