About Me

1st of all we wanna let you all know that THIS IS NOT Christian himself who's updating this pro at the moment! It's just Hilde & Nina... So please don't get it wrong!

Christian Ingebrigtsen is one of Norways most successful artists.
The former member of a1 has already traveled the world with hits like:
Everytime, Caught in the middle, Take on me, Same old brand new
you, Be the first to believe, Summertime of our lives and many others.
When Columbia Records signed a1 in early 1999,
it was one of the biggest deals in the record companys history, leading
to eight UK Top 10 singles (Including two number 1s), consistent top 3
entries all over Asia and Europe, numerous gold and platinum awards
and millions of album sales. A1 has won international MTV Awards,
two Best Video awards (TV Hits & Smash Hits) and the prestigious Brit
Award (The UK Grammy) for Best British Newcomer in 2001,
establishing themselves in the front ranks of original and creative pop music.
Christian recently embarked on his solo career, and already hes
reached the number one spot twice in his home country, Norway. In
love with an angel, written by Christian became his first number one hit
without a1. Just a few months later, Things are gonna change went
straight in to the number one spot, too, proving that Christian definitely
isnt a one-hit-wonder!
Born in 1977, Christian grew up in Siggerud outside Oslo, Norway. His
father, Stein Ingebrigtsen, was one of Norway's most successful artists
during the 70's, and sold more than one million records in Scandinavia
and Europe. Naturally, music became an important part of Christians
life. He went on his very first tour at the age of three! Although he spent
most of his time just looking out from behind the drum-kit that year,
soon he would develop his talents for playing and performing.
He started taking violin lessons at the age of six, then went on to piano
and guitar, and chose to study music and drama in high school. Soon he
would play piano concerts in churches and for various functions in his
local area. But it wasnt until he was 16, that he started writing his first
songs. He studied in Kentucky, USA for one year, where he took part in
musicals, talent shows and concerts. His talents and love for performing
impressed those around him so much, that he was given the highest
honor awarded by the state: the title "Kentucky Colonel" by the
governor in 1995 - a title Christian shares with such distinguished
leaders as President Lyndon B. Johnson, Sir Winston Churchill, and
entertainers such as Bing Crosby and Red Skelton!
He continued his classical piano training,
as well as developing his skills as a composer,
until in 1997; Christian was accepted among very few Norwegians, to
study at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
The school is also known as the Paul McCartney fame-school.
In his first year of studying song writing and production,
a teacher at LIPA recommended Christian to manager Tim Byrne, who
was looking for talents to work with. Christian met Tim and within a few
moments Byrne was convinced that Christian was the right man for his
next project. Together with three other talented young men (Ben
Adams, Mark Read and Paul Marazzi) they developed and formed the
group a1.
