In the early 80s he began buying records, stumbling over artists like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and Ultravix which set the main foundation of his style esp inspired by the style of playing by Billy Currie.[5]

At the age of 15 he bought his first synthesizer, a Roland S-10 sampler and began writing music on a more regular basis. After hearing D.A.F and Front 242 this set the foundation of joining Friends Henrik Björkk and Leif Holm in Pouppée Fabrikk as a producer in 1988 which lead to later becoming a full time member of the band.[6]
