How discovered:
I worked as a bouncer at a members bar in Stockholm. One of the bookers from Elite was there having a little bit too much fun. Maybe she just made a stupid promise. But she told me I could model. Anyway I do believe her now. 

Favorite things:
Two of my closest friends opened a Thai boxing gym in Stockholm. I’m spending a lot of time there doing Thai boxing and circuit training. Odenplan Fightgym is a big part of my life. And can’t live without my bike. Too bad summer in Sweden is so short! 

Favorite music, band:
Classic rock. Sometimes I feel like a was born in the wrong century. I can’t get enough of Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, etc. My favourite band is the 90’s best grunge band, Pearl Jam. The lead singer Eddie Vedder is my idol. 

Favorite movie, tv show:
Right now I’m completely hooked with Eastbound and Down. Kenny Powers cracks me up all the time. One of my favourite movies is Into The Wild. There is something about the message of breaking free that I cant get out of my head. To go where the road leads you and not looking back. Great soundtrack by Eddie Vedder too! 

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
My favourite designer is Tom Ford. I’m in love with the fragrance Tobacco Oud. 

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I’d probably train Thai boxing harder. I’m quite competitive and I would definitely go to a fight. Then take it from there and see how good I could be. 

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I would love to grow out my moustache again, even though it’s ugly as hell, I just LOVE it. Luckily Elite won’t let me. 

Favorite modeling experience so far?
Walking for Moschino during London Fashion Week was an amazing experience. An opportunity I’m very grateful for. I also did a major campaign that hasn’t been released yet. So can’t say whom it was for! You won’t miss it

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
I miss Odenplan Fightgym. The atmosphere simply makes me happy. 

Which brand would you really love to model for?
If I got the chance to walk for Dolce & Gabbana I would be very happy. A dream coming true would be doing a fragrance campaign.

Place you would love to visit:
Tokyo is on my to do list. It seems completely different to anything I’ve visited before. Wouldn’t mind being lost in translation…

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Can’t wait to see what this year has to offer me. I’m really excited. That’s whats on my mind right now!
