Biography

Noted pianist, composer, songwriter, entertainer, and actor, with a rich educational background that includes attendance at Borgerdydskolen and the prestigious Conservatory of Copenhagen.

Under the guidance of renowned instructors Egon Petri and Frederic Lammond, he honed his craft, laying the foundation for a successful concert career that kicked off in 1922.

His multifaceted talents also led him to perform in a musical revue in 1934, and he made his foray into the world of film in 1937.

When he arrived in the United States in 1940, he made a lasting impression with his American radio debut on the esteemed Bing Crosby show.

Subsequently, he took center stage in his own one-man show, "Comedy in Music", and treated audiences to his virtuosity through numerous concert appearances across the USA and Europe.

As a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) since 1961, he has left an indelible mark on the world of music, with his composition "Blue Serenade" standing as a testament to his enduring talent.
