About Me

After many years in the making, For The Record is now in stores across Norway and available from this website . So many cups of coffee, pints of beer, sleepless nights, joyful moments with friends in the studio have now been pressed into a plastic disc for you to enjoy.
Some songs have been with me for quite a while and some are new. To me, this is some kind of documentary - it's "For The Record".
The second album is already in the making. Going through a list of 30-40 songs now. Hopefully it will be released already later this year.
Jeni Saint is singing with me on "Half A Beggar" and "Poem For Girls". See Jeni's profile here .
