Brought up listening to artists such as Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Electric Light Orchestra, Depeche Mode, Brian Eno and The Beatles, his interest in classical music was never far away. In his late 20´s after moving to London he started working with classical musicians, which lit his interest in writing classical music, being influenced by modern composers Philip Glass, Max Richter, Ludovico Einaudi, John Williams and Yann Tiersen.
