Born in '76. Has a soft spot for disco. And the original Heatwave song "Boogie Nights" is #1. Grew up in Ballard, a part of Seattle, in the U.S. of A. Lived there all his life. Born naturally gifted in music, or as some suggest, unnaturally gifted. So many instruments to choose from, he spent half his adolescence trying to figure out which ones to play (and still hasn't decided). Academically speaking, he probably could've turned professor but it wasn't in his bones. Settled for an undergrad degree. Turned off by the big machine telling him what he needed to have a normal life. Loves city culture. Appreciates country life. Has a strong Christian faith. Moved to the west coast of Norway the week after 9/11. Been doing volunteer work with an intl. missions organization ever since. Summer of 2005 got married to an authentic Norwegian girl and released his debut album. Fall of 2007 became a father. And now is exploring the frontiers of mixing and production.
