I aim to utilize the extremes of the dynamic spectrum - from the most delicate and atmospheric to absolute brutal mayhem. My influences range from The Cardigans and Daniel Lanois to Mike Stern and Pantera.
My obsession with recording started in the studios at Berklee a few decades ago. Check out my /credits
I have set up a state-of-the-art studio for recording guitar tracks at home. Studio tour can be found here: /skogtune-studios
I criss-crossed the country with indie artists for years. I've played “everywhere” from the tiniest stage to Gillette Stadium and The Xfinity Center.
If you're looking for /lessons I offer private one-on-one instruction on a limited basis through Zoom. Geography is not a hindrance anymore - you could be anywhere in the world!
Browse my store for exclusive content, one-of-a-kind limited edition products, as well as instructional material where I spill all my secrets! COMING SOON!
Contact me for booking a show, to hire me for recording, touring, or lessons.
At Vintertreffet back in February I had my first performance as a solo artist.
Here's a clip of one of the songs. It is a perfect illustration of what I want my music to sound like: https://www.facebook.com/reel/238839562648253
I played on a U2 sound-alike for the song Vertigo a while back with some great friends (¾ Mission Hill!). Besides having an incredible time hanging with the guys I had so much fun trying to nail The Edge's guitar tone.

Malukah just released her rendition of Coldplay's “Yellow”. Had so much fun trying to make my guitar sound like Coldplay.

In February I will be performing at Vintertreffet at Vaksdal in Norway. I will be sharing the stage with a group of Norwegian household names such as The Hellbillies, Tommy Kristiansen, and Frida Amundsen.

Got to contribute a bit to this beautiful cover of a Stylistics song called Betcha By Golly, Wow. This recording was part of The Contrlroom's Content Monday Series.

Recently, I had the most fun that I've ever had on a Monday morning. Charles Haynes invited me to collaborate in his new “Content Monday Series”, where he invites musicians to record a song in his studio.

Hard to describe the the feeling standing next to your big hero and hearing the soundtrack of your life being played back to you. Playing with Knut Erik Østgård was a dream come true for me! What a giant of a man and legendary singer!
Here's a short clip from our performance: https://fb.watch/rtbwNdRt8d/
I had so much fun backing up Åge Sten Nilsen at Vaksdalstreffet. I am blown away by this man’s ability to nail every single note with conviction and soul!
