Hello friend.
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits.
I’m on a mission. And I am obsessed with this mission. I will succeed or die trying.
There is no plan B. There is no backup plan. THIS IS IT!
But I need your help…
You can be apart of this too. This is probably one of those once in a lifetime opportunities.
I suggest you read very carefully what I have to say.
In fact, I suggest you may be reading this right now because some universal (higher) force brought you here, brought us together. You are looking for a new challenge perhaps.
Or maybe you know there’s something more to all those mad skills you have worked so hard on but haven’t really managed to utilise in the way you hoped when you dreamed of bigger things. And for some reason those dreams started to fade as life got in the way…
Did you think that what you have now is as good as it will ever get?
Well I’m here to tell you that it can get a whole lot better.
I am looking for insanely talented artists (especially musicians) to join my world travelling carnival orchestra of misfits and future superstars and creative geniuses. I am looking for YOU!

I know what you’re thinking. This guy is crazy. Who does he think he is?
True. I’m crazy. Crazy good. Crazy happy. Crazy alive. I love what I do. I love the whole process. Even when I struggle and fail (failure used to be my middle name) and see no hope or light. I love that too. I am truly mad for wanting this for so long and never giving up. I get back up in the ring to fight another round. And I have this growing fire inside my heart that says: I AM THE GREATEST MUSICIAN ALIVE. Hendrix and Tchaikovksy are turning in their graves as we speak. Imagine what would happen if I found others like me and joined forces?
You will NOT meet a human being in this world at any point in history who is more determined and hungry than me. Guaranteed. Jesus and Buddha got nothing on me. NOTHING. I make them look like schoolboys playing with firecrackers.
But it took me a lot of time and pain to come to this realisation and have such profound clarity regarding how to proceed and how to lead this project moving forwards. And also to really commit myself to the process and dedicate my whole life to this commitment. No matter what it takes.
We will perform the hell out of my songs. And I have a lot of songs! More are coming. We will play other people’s songs too. We will make them ours and we will give our songs to the world so they become the soundtrack of humanity. I believe in these songs. I cover some deep themes. And I go all the way. If you are anything like me, you will know what kind of price has to be paid to get to this level.
I think we can really empower others to kick ass and transform their lives. Music is powerful when the Gods take over. There is mass starvation everywhere for true inspiration. I have seen it in people’s eyes. The eyes don’t lie.
We will feed, heal and serve our human family and our Earth home. We are all on the same side. I truly believe that.
I also don’t like genres or representing a certain style. FUCK that.
This is World Music. Lets reclaim that.
Rock. Pop. Jazz. Classical. Metal. Disco. Folk. Blues. Country. Polka. Tango. Electronic. Prog. Rap. Blablaa-bloody-blaa.
Those are just words that somebody else has created to box something and put a label on it. They are just tools in the toolbox. Spices in the spice cabinet. Colors in the painters palette. They are not the meal. Those labels are for the consumers and listeners. Not for creators.
MUSIC is MUSIC.
It is beyond boxes and labels.
The only thing I care about is that it is beyond great. Every song and performance and album and musical and opera has to be EXCEPTIONAL. It has to frighten even us the performers. We find the edge of the abyss, and we jump in! Maybe one day we won’t come back.
I want to work with the best. Or at least those who are pursuing greatness. No exceptions. If you are still in doubt that this could work, I suggest you lock yourself in a cabin for 10 years like I did and work on your craft. Read books. Listen to Bach and Coltrane and Metallica. Take acid. Go mad.
I want to work with people who believe in themselves. Who have a lot of confidence regarding their abilities. Who know what it really takes. Who are ready to release themselves when the show begins or when the record button is pressed. Who will practise and constantly grow as an artist and as a human. And love the whole process. And surrender to it.
There is nothing sexier in this world than surrender.
Sacrifices will have to be made. Family, day job, money worries, fear of poverty and change… these are obstacles that have to be taken care of before you consider this. You can’t be held back any longer by such trivialities. You need to be free. So sort it out.
When you join my project, you are an outlaw. Your nationality stops mattering. This will be your new family, your new lifestyle, your new religion, your new country. Call it what you want. I call it home.
We live by the rules of nature and love.
This is not a hobby. This is not for amateurs. This is not for limp dicks and half wits. This is full time, full life! From morning until night. We have a lot of work to do. The work never stops. Even when you are alone. Even when you are dead! The work lives on. But it is not just about rehearsing songs to death. It is about having a great time doing what we love. Exploring and growing in every way possible: mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, sexually, financially, etc. We will find new borders and annihilate them! We will go beyond the known. Please read this paragraph again to make sure you understand what I am saying here.
Note: If you have problems with drugs, alcohol and other addictions, I suggest you sort them out before jumping on the viking blues ship! I need you clean and free (at your best). Consider this a call from the heavens. If not now, when? Change is possible. I did it. So can you. You have many options. Get on the road of recovery. This is the push you have been waiting for. Do it NOW.
We will play everywhere. On the streets. In theatres, stadiums, festivals. EVERYWHERE.
The world is our stage.
We will be praised and worshipped and awarded.
If you are interested and looking for a “new way to play the same game”, contact me ASAP. Send me samples of your work and photos or videos of your current style and vibe (these are very important as well). Write me a letter telling me who you are. Don’t hold back. And don’t bullshit me.
Oh and I would suggest you familiarise yourself with my music and lyrics. You can find my songs on this website, on Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Youtube, Spotify, Itunes. Or come see me play.
Together we can change the world, change OUR world. This is a path of spiritual transcendence. This is about igniting a revolution of sound and poetry and movement. Doing some
