I’m a composer and arranger with over 15 years of experience combining professional orchestral work with practical, real-ensemble writing. I’ve built a strong reputation as a percussionist and timpanist, performing regularly across major venues and collaborating closely with leading orchestras throughout Finland, Sweden, and Spain. Alongside my performance career, I focus on arranging for large ensembles (including a 15-player group), using first-hand knowledge of orchestral balance, instrumentation, and rehearsal-friendly notation. I also compose original sacred music, and my work has been recognized in competitions—bringing together detailed music theory, consistent writing under pressure, and a collaborative, cross-cultural approach to every project.
