my name is egil olsen. i am a singer / songwriter. i make pretty little songs about the hard knock life as a wannabe superstar. i had a solo/band thing called uncle's institution, but after a soul searching road trip on the west coast of the united states, i found the solo artist within; egil olsen.
the focus is on the lyrics and the melody with a very simple, near and naked expression both live and on tape. the music is warm, pretty and ever-green with personal lyrics with elements of both humor and darkness.
i am a singer / songwriter is an album by and about an eccentric, dreamy and striving artist. a singer / songwriter. egil olsen.
