    Länsförsäkringar Internal Health Week TV program - Music Production

    Länsförsäkringar is a Swedish Insurance company, I worked with Life Event Sweden AB to produce music for a TV show that was dreamt up for a health week for employee consumption exclusively. The assets I needed to deliver where short stingers of multiple intensities along with background music of multiple different intensities (eg. more mellow for a yoga class intro or more upbeat for “back in the studio chat”).

    No examples of the music’s use are available unfortunately due to the private and internal nature of the event.

    Lego x Sporttouchen - Music Production

    During the 2026 Fifa world cup that was sponsored by Lego, I was approached to create a song in collaboration with Lego and Sporttouchen (a popular Swedish sports social media channel), a song that embodied both Lego and Football. We got the public involved in the recordings for the crowd chants along with some of the team members in Sporttouchen. The song includes multiple puns and call backs to Lego.

    Nordic Star Cup 2025 - Music Production

    A televised celebrity football match in 3 Arena Stockholm, in October 2025 with teams from Norway and Sweden.

    I was responsible for the production and post production of the entirety of the music used in the broadcast (outside of the live performances of course). The music for the opening ceremony was the largest of the projects I was tasked with, taking inspiration from Scandinavian history and music culture in order to align with the subject matter of the event, including a reimagining of the two nation’s anthems within the 6 sectioned piece.

    The match was televised on ESPN & Disney+ and was in collaboration with Sporttouchen (a popular Swedish social media channel)

    The opening ceremony only:
