About Me

Primarily a solo artist, I'm originally from Kansas in the U.S., but moved to Oslo, Norway fifteen years ago. I've been playing and composing since 1985. But I've been a so-called "working musician" since 1994. For details, I recommend visiting my website (debgirnius.com) for more details about how I got there and what I'm about. It's a long story and I'm getting old. Although I've been playing along with a lot of great artists on their productions, I've only recently started recording my solo work. I have two albums available now. The first is a 13 track collection of originals called Working Woman. I produced it together with a hip-hop man named "Rumblin". It was a refreshingly creative collaboration. This yeilded some thickly arranged, melodic rock smashed into a big, soft symphonic bed, coloured by flutes, horns, bells and yells.My second CD, Nice-n-Rough, is a somewhat naked representation of me and my noise-making with a lazy and ripped-sounding voice. The producers, Thore Engen and Freddy Linquist, wanted it that way for this particular concept. Nice-n-Rough consists of both original material and some evergreens with a raw touch. Both can now be downloaded pretty much anywhere on the www. If you like, look for the extra music widget on this page to go straight to download, or simply to hear some more tracks.Thanks for meeting me here!

Band Members: At the moment, it's just my gee-tar and me, although I've been known to slap a band together at short notice. I'm fortunate enough to have a lot of talented folks around me. For example, the CD on this page was produced by myself and a fantastically well-kept secret here in Norway called Roger Rogstad, a.k.a. "Rumblin". He normally produces Hip Hop, but he was curious enough to give me a go and we had a brilliant time in his studio. Besides him, I work with a load of other gorgeous people. Check out my website, and you'll learn more about them!Any potential band line-ups will be posted here, so be sure to check back periodically.....
Influences: I'm one of the millions out there who's just crackers about the Beatles, so they're my first pick. Besides those guys, I'm pretty much nuts about all those beauties of classic Brit-Pop and rock: ELO, Pink Floyd, Queen, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, The Hollies and so on. My American influences include Buffy Sainte-Marie, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Melissa Etheridge, Heart, Billy Joel, Dolly Parton, Peter, Paul & Mary...ooh...and some of the great jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole...The list goes on forever but I'm basically influenced by all the stuff which touched my heart as a child. Since I refuse to grow up, they still move me and my childish soul.
Sounds Like: Wings were at a festival with Led Zeppelin and on the way home, ended up in a plane crash with Buffy Sainte-Marie and Liza Minnelli...
