About Me

Sebastian Waldejer was recently chosen as Stavangers "Artist of the year, 2008" and is currently touring after the release of the critically acclaimed "France EP" (January 2008). Starting off in 2005 doing support gigs and smaller shows with just him and his guitar, Waldejer has now become one of the most promising young indie-pop acts from the west coast of Norway.His style can well be described as a singer/songwriter influenced by artists such as Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Sufjan Stevens, Ryan Adams amongst many others.Waldejers music has a strong focus on harmonies, arrangements and mellow lyrics, with an essence of love and honest philosophies on life and death.Since 2005 Sebastian Waldejer has done shows in several European countries, including a tour in Germany 2006, and showcases in Great Britain, Italy and Norway.Currently recording his debut-album, it is due for release in the fall of 2008.a

Sounds Like: "Sweden has its own particular brand of sunny pop - often slightly cartoonish at times - but I would have no idea what to expect from a Norwegian record. More of the same? Darker? Who knows. Well Sebastian Waldejer is from Norway, and may be the first from that country to weasel his way into my music collection."SongByToad www.songbytoad.com
