How do you come up with your songs?
Before I compose I always get a strong feeling that does not go over with less than that I write a song. Often it is something sad that has happened to trigger the feeling. When I finished writing the song, I’m happy again:)

Plans for the future? Gigs? New video?
Acoustica, Vol. 26 with two of my songs have just been released in Hollywood. A new album is coming out in England and USA this fall. A new video is almost ready. Next gig will be to sing at a birthday party.
