KRISTIN FJELLSETH

About Me


Kristin Fjellseth is a Norwegian singer/songwriter with her heart on the sleeve. Her songs are made with passion and sorrow, inspired by birds, angels, stars, pirates and people. Her voice has been her tool of expression since she was a little girl. As the daughter of a preacherman, she grew up with churchmusic and Johnny Cash. At early age she started performing in services, weddings and funerals. At fifteen she joined the gothic pop- band Pale Forest. Together with pale Forest she released three albums, two EP..s and played shows in Oslo, Copenhagen, Paris, Barcelona, Roma, Hamburg and Prague, among other big cities in Europe. Today she is a solo-artist with good help from her producer and guitar-player Jon Anders Narum and her live-musicians. Her first solo-album is almost finished, hopefully it will be released February 2008. In the meantime you can enjoy her music here at myspace. You can also hear her as a guestartist and composer on Agua De Anniques (NL) debut-album "Air". ( www.aguadeannique.com/ www.myspace.com/aguadeannique). She is also contributing with the song "Paa Havsens Bunn" on the Anti Atlas-album(UK) "Between Voices", where she sings in her native language, norwegian.
