Had his own band from age 10 to 18 – The Wild Horses. He recorded the first rock album in 1977. In fact it was the first rock album ever released by minors in Denmark.

Then he concentrated on playing the guitar and he was jamming with a lot of the established rock musicians in Denmark.

He played with the pop-rock band Sidewalk in the beginning of the 80’s and they got a contract with the world famous Abba manager Stickan Andersson on Polar Records in Sweden. Sidewalk was produced by Kasper Winding and Billy Cross. Among the jobs Sidewalk had was as a backing-band for Dr. John.
