His music career began as a singer in the reggae band Ska'l Man , which won Göteborgstalangen in 2003 and released an album the following year. He released two records with the band Andra Generations and took part in the Melodifestivalen in 2008 and 2010. Then he worked with Isabel Sörling and Farvel as well as the Gothenborg Gadjos .

In 2018 the album of the same name was released with his project Y-Otis , in which Elias Stemeseder , Petter Eldh and Tilo Weber were involved; He also works with Marc Lohr in the techno project otis sun and in Eldh's quintet Koma Saxo (with Jonas Kullhammar , Mikko Innanen and Christian Lillinger ), where “his circular breathing” and playing on the tenor saxophone creates stimulating “surfaces and overtones”.
