About Me

Kurt Nilsen began his artist career in the Bergen based band, Fenrik Lane, but it was not before he entered the Idol audition in his hometown it really kicked off.
His performances were breathtaking and not only did he win the hearts of the Norwegian people he went on, against all odds, to beat Kelly Clarkson and won World Idol.
His two first albums both sold to double platinum and “Hallelujah-live”, a collaboration with Alejandro Fuentes, Espen Lind and Askil Holm sold over incredible 240.000 (6x platinum) albums, 40.000 (4x platinum) DVD’s, sold out Oslo Spectrum (cap. 8500) x3 and a had total tour audience of 150.000 people.
Kurt released his 3rd solo album October 2007 and pop smashes “Push Push” and "Reality Kicks" raved the radios.
A country inspired singer-songwriter album is set for release April 21st (2008) – the album includes the Hank Williams cover "Lost Highway" in duet with country legend Willie Nelson! "Lost Highway" will be out on radio in Norway mid-march.
Kurt Nilsen is currently touring Norway with his band and will be out on the road until fall 2008. Check out the tour dates here on Kurt's Myspace or www.kurtnilsenmusic.com.
