Mini Documentary about Center of the Universe

We captured some of the time we spent in the studio and turned it into a mini documentary with commentary on my thoughts, the production and the backstory behind some of the songs. As the album has gained so many wonderful reviews, been considered for a G

I was so lucky to be able to fullfil my vision when making my new album Center of the Universe. I really wanted the process to be as organic and natural as possible, to be far away from distractions, and to let the songs come to life through the sound and heartbeat of all musicians in one room at the same time. We captured some of the time we spent in the studio and turned it into a mini…

Alone for Christmas - 2023 Annual Christmas Single

As some of you know, every year I release a free Christmas single. ”Alone for Christmas” is a heartbreaking tale about how missing your loved one at a time of the year that is so strongly centered around family is extra hard.

As some of you know, every year I release a free Christmas single, portraying the darker, less cheerful side of the holiday season. My 2017 Christmas album ”When Winter Comes” charted as No. 5 on Folk Radio USA, and this year I also released my 9th studio album, ”Center of the Universe”, which was considered for a Grammy nomination.”Alone for Christmas” is a heartbreaking tale about how missing…

Center of the Universe - Signed CD

Imagine yourself in a small rural village in Sweden. White-trimmed wooden houses that date back several hundred years are tucked in between the pines and birch tees next to the quiet lake where the sunlight glitters like gold on the gentle ripple. All around you, you can hear the buzzing of bumblebees, birds singing in the trees, and the sheep are grazing in a nearby pasture, surrounded by a hand…

We flew over two amazing musicians from the U.S to Sweden to record with me, and rented a 19th century house to record in to get the right sound and…

Too Many Churches released today

Too Many Churches released today

Today I’m releasing my new single “Too Many Churches”. The song came to me as I learned about the Supreme Court in the USA overturning Roe v Wade. For those of you who are not American and don’t know what this means – it basically means many women in the U.S lost their right to a safe legal abortion. I am of the opinion that if you have a voice you should use it. I am using mine now.  Although I…
