He was the first recipient of the Osa Prize in 1992, and received the Norwegian Braodcasting Corporation´s award for young folk musicians in the same year. In his collaboration with musicians from other genres, he has given fiddle tunes a new, modern mode of expression. He is one of very few Hardanger fiddlers to work on a freelance basis.
