Bio

Lasse was born in Sweden. He studied Design & Communication in college, and at 21 he had begun a fast-paced career as a designer in Denmark and quickly made his way to become Art Director at a well-known advertising agency working for large local fashion companies. It was while he was working at Midt Marketing Agency, he was discovered by one of his female colleagues. She believed that Lasse shouldn’t be working on the ads, but featured in them. She took Polaroid’s and sent them to a friend of hers Lina, who happened to be the owner of one of the largest agencies in Denmark, Diva Models. Lina liked him, and soon after Lasse left his life in the office, for a life on the road modeling for highly esteemed clients such as Gianfranco Ferre, Carlo Pignatelli, Armani, St John, Neiman Marcus, Ralph Lauren and shooting with Famous photographers and models like Bruce Weber, Matthias Vriens, Randall Mesdon, Russ Flatt, Carter Smith, Cindy Crawford, Kim Catrall, Paris Hilton, Christie Brinkley, Julia Stegner, Filippa Hamilton, and many more.

During his travels, he met up with a friend from Germany who offered him a position in his new Band Fridge as the Lead vocalist. Lasse always had a passion for singing and playing guitar so he accepted and soon went on regular trips to Germany to record and perform with Fridge. The band later split up in 2002 and Lasse then moved to America.

In 2003 he met an influential person who introduced him to Veganism, and also further developed his curiosity for an alternative lifestyle. About a year later, he took a break from the industry to embark on a journey to the east with a group of people, to discover his “true self”. Lasse spent months meditating in the mountains of Nepal, and India with acclaimed Tibetan and Indian masters. In 2007 he returned with a new found appreciation for what life has to offer and realized how important it is to keep a focused mind and healthy body.
