As a child, Pedersen played piano. As a teenager, he started learning to play contrabass and at the age of 14, he began his professional jazz career in Denmark with his first band, Jazzkvintet 60, while studying. Later on, he was engaged as the regular bassist at Copenhagen's Jazzhus Montmartre. At 17, he had already turned down an offer to join the Count Basie orchestra, mainly because he was too young to get legal permission to live and work as a musician in America.
During the 1960s, Pedersen played with several important American jazzmen who were touring or resident in Denmark, including Ben Webster and many others. He became the bassist of choice whenever a big-name musician was touring Copenhagen.
Preferring to remain in his native Denmark, Pedersen turned down an offer to become the regular bassist in The Oscar Peterson Trio following Ray Brown's departure. During visits to the United States, he also contributed to several critically panned avant-garde recordings with Anthony Braxton, Albert Ayler, and Archie Shepp.
He was awarded Best Bass Player Of The Year by Downbeat Critics' Poll in 1981
Pedersen died of heart failure in 2005 at the age of 58 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
