Danish - Musician | October 28, 1980 -
I used to get very nervous before a concert. It's okay when you are in a band. You can kind of disappear. But when it's just you... yes, that was difficult. I would not say it is easy now. But when you do it for a long time, you do learn to cope.

I love Denmark. But it is a very safe place, and it is easy to let the state look after everything for you.

With 'Philharmonics,' I had to do a lot of interviews, and it was like I was corrupting something. In many ways, I've said everything in the song. And either I can't go back to what it was because it's changing when I play it, or I still haven't figured out what the song is about.

When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.

I love the conversation between film and music.

I've heard from other artists that people are a little bit more reserved in Northern Europe, which comes across at concerts, where the audience may be quieter. So this means less hecklers, but maybe it also means that people may not be as open about how they felt. I'm not so sure this is especially true of Denmark, but it's what I've heard.

The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.

I don't have a daily routine at all.
