Work Life Experience
Since January 2025, I have been interning remotely at Million Games where I've composed music and created sound design for several of their games, including Chicken X.
I worked as a display host of apartments in 2020, retail during Christmas 2019 and at a retirement home summer 2015. Through these positions, I gained a lot of experience receiving and interacting people.
Since 2017, I have done freelance jobs for music artists. These jobs include vocal-mixing, mastering, full productions, mixing of full productions, toplining, creating vocal arrangements and live direction during vocal recordings. During my career, I have produced music for the musical artist LilyPichu, such as her singles Dreamy Night and Breathe. I have also written and produced songs for the V-tuber Bao the Whale, and I've mixed and mastered several tracks for singers like Amalee and Will Stetson, as well as the aforementioned artists. I have been producing music since 2011, and I started recording in 2013. Since the beginning, I have been using FL Studio. I’ve also used Logic Pro X for schoolwork during high school (2015–2018). ​
Education
Since August 2023, I’ve taken the program Game Audio Producent & Sound Design at the vocational university AP Academy. There, I studied orchestral music, transformative harmony (neo-Riemannian theory), audio implementation with middleware and writing of melody and counter-melody, and I learned about functional harmony more in-depth. I also learned more about spatial positioning through use of both reverb and different mic positions, and I learned about balancing of frequencies with consideration of human psychology.
In high school, I majored in music production at Rytmus Stockholm. I learned about management of musical equipment and recording of instruments and vocals. I refined my skills in mixing, mastering, sound-design, arranging, recording of foley, etc. I honed my singing skills, and I wrote and produced music together with classmates.
In comprehensive school, I studied classical music at Lilla Akademien. I learned music theory, functional harmony and how to read sheet music. I took harp classes from preschool class through 3rd grade, and during the same years, I played my instrument in the orchestra and at concerts. The same goes for the trumpet, for which I took classes from 3rd grade through 9th grade.

Swedish is my mother tongue, and I speak English fluently.
