Nisse Thorbjørn gained his alias "Copenhagen Slim" while in Chicago at the start of his professional career in 2003, hanging out and sitting in with acts and at jamsessions at Chicago (US) venues, where he appeared as a guest with Billy Branch, John Primer, Lurrie Bell among others.

In 2009 Nisse Thorbjørns solo record "CPH Slim" was published, this earned him critical acclaim with a 4 hearts rating in the national culture newspaper Politiken, he also recieved the "Danish Blues Musician of the year award" that year.
