Henrik Jespersen
Independent danish artist plays very melodic and original music
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My story as an amateur in playing music:
I got my first acustic guitar at age 12 (1972) and my first electric at age 14. Played in a local Copenhagen Band "The Pink Mooners" from age 18-23 - We were absolutely lousy, but as best friends, who cared - we just kicked ass, playing in a soundproof basement.
In the following years, doing my career in the printing business. Every now and again I played my Acustic guitar, with my Gibson Les Paul Costum just being kept a safe place, waiting for the day....
Spring 2006 - I agreed with my X-girlfriend (Mother to my 2 boys, Alfred and Johannes), to go and live in the small garden house (In Danish "Kolonihaven" - reason to my MySpace name). Sitting there alone, with what I thought was my family, living in another place. Lonely, sad... I sought comfort in playing my good old guitar.
One thing lead to another - So now allmost a year later, I have sort of a mini studio, with a lot of programs on my desktop PC. Recording stuff, I never knew I would be able to do.
Enjoy!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
