About me

My winding and colorful career as a professional performer started over 20 years ago, and has taken me onto stages, behind microphones and in front of cameras around the globe. I was a passionate martial artist, professional dancer, full-time musician, and it was always about telling stories. Today, I enjoy doing so through writing and acting. Tripple threats such as Fred Astaire or other "allrounders" like Jackie Chan inspired me. I have taken countless classes and workshops with plenty of acting-, vocal- and dance coaches and always had a very curious auto-didactical approach to the artistic crafts.
My writer-direcotr debutorial short film "Princess Maya and the Patchworld" won the award for best directing at the 2023 Stockholm Film Festival.
