When he met her, he said "My manager Geir Luedy asked me if I could do a session with a young woman, we booked the studio and we recorded 5 or 6 of their songs with just the vocals and piano. I selected one of the songs I wanted to work with. This song was "Runaway". She immediately impressed me."

He has played drums for ORBO & The Longshots, William Hut, Josefin Winther, November Homecoming, Monica Heldal, Line Dybedal, Norwegian Tiger, Silja Sol and Marie Klåpbakken.
