If we don’t know each other, it’s only proper that I briefly introduce myself (read full bio here)

My name is Christian Wendelboe Bundgaard, I’m a Danish pianist, composer, multimedia producer, and soon to be BA in Educational Science. 

I was born in 1994 and raised in a suburb of Copenhagen, and it was here that I developed my early passion for American roots music through the record collections of my parents. 

Over the last decade, I have performed across Denmark and Europe, both as a solo artist and alongside visiting musicians from New Orleans. My debut album, Two Generations (2016), was a collaboration with pianist Hans Knudsen and was nominated for a Danish Music Award for Best Blues Album. I 2022, I released my debut album under my musical alter ego, Chris Copen, “I Got Hipped”. The album received critical acclaim in both Danish and international blues communities.

Since I was 17 years old, I’ve had multiple extended residencies in New Orleans—including a pivotal three-month stay in Tremé in 2017—here I studied the city’s music, culture, and history firsthand. Much of my creative work is shaped by an ethnographic curiosity about musical heritage, African American cultural traditions, and the roots of jazz and blues.

But music is everything. In addition to my musical career, I hold a degree in Multimedia Design from Copenhagen Business Academy, and I have worked extensively in visual design, video production, podcasting, and digital storytelling for cultural institutions and public organizations. Due to my big interest in culture, society, and education, Im currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Educational Science at Aarhus University, with plans to complete a Master’s in Pedagogical Anthropology by 2028.

Well, now that was a little bit about me.

Once again, welcome to my blog.
