Morten Kærup

Musician · Producer · Developer of creative communities

I work at the crossroads of music, creative development and communities — from the rough melody hummed into a phone to the finished track that is ready to go out and live, and everything in between: the offbeat attempts, the creative meetings and the courage to follow an idea through.

About me

I am a musician, producer and certified coach with a broad musical background and a particular interest in creativity and artistic development. Over the years I have worked with a range of musical expressions, from jazz and indie to electronic pop and alternative music. I play guitar and banjo in the jazz ensemble I Think You're Awesome and was previously a producer and musician in the electropop duo Kadie Elder. Through my projects I have released music, collaborated with other musicians and played festivals both in Denmark and abroad.

Since 2014 I have helped develop Musikbunkeren in Gentofte, where I work with musical communities, teaching and creative learning environments for young people. I have also helped develop teaching programmes at Skaberskolen and within music production. Alongside my musical and educational work I have trained as a coach with Sofia Manning.

I am interested in what makes creativity flourish, how ideas develop, and what it takes to bring them to life. My approach is built on a combination of musical experience, professional curiosity and coaching. I am interested both in the artistic craft and the person behind the music, and in the interplay between the two in developing a personal and meaningful artistic expression.
