Popkollo

I’ve just spent two summer days on the Swedish countryside with 25 teenage girls on a mission.

Popkollo is a music camp for and by girls, making a difference. I was asked to hold a lecture on how to start your own label, how to use your creativity to write songs and so forth. I’ve never considered myself having any ‘teacher’ potential but there I was chatting away about my experiences from the music side of things.

The girls were amazing. In the end they taught me how to..

..play the drums.

Also reminding me of how fun it is to jam with a band..

..and how to relax.

This is the reason I make music.
