, Paula Nelson and many more. In 2005 he released his self-titled debut album ("Tingsek", V2 Records/Universal). More albums followed; "World of Its Own" (2006) and "Too Many Feelings at The Same Time" (2008). Being a multi-talented musician Tingsek masters not just one but many instruments; drums, guitar, bass, pedal steel, the piano and much more. Furthermore, Tingsek has to date produced & mixed all his recordings himself, as well as having played the majority of the instruments.

The partnership with Universal Music eventually came to an end in 2009, which prompted Tingsek to start his own label, World Of Its Own Recordings, together with long-time business partner Camilla Nordahl. Shortly thereafter, his fourth (but first to be on his own label) full-length album was released: the aptly named "Restless Soul".
