The duo started playing when they were seven years old. Every year from then on, they have been participating in the District Championship and the Norway Championship. The brothers have won the District Championship several times, as soloists and as a duo. The brothers are also playing for the orchester Ørskog Trekkspillorkester, which they have been selling a music album with. Their dream is to develop themselves until they are on a high level, where they can use the accordion active, for example by teaching, joining concerts or by arranging their own concerts.[4]

We are equally skilled, and we practice as much as each other. It is usually an hour every day, and a couple of hours in the weekends.
