About Me

Hi, I'm a singer/songwriter from Oslo, Norway. These songs were recorded at home on my laptop. I have written 90 songs, 73 in English, and 17 in Norwegian. I hope to release an album or ten before I die, but for the time being, the only chance to hear me is here on myspace (or perhaps live!). No, that..s not true, if you want to listen to more of my music you can go to the Norwegian webpage www.nrk.no/urort and then search for Finn Harrisson! Knock on my door if you want me to play you a song (or ten). Until then, here is a little taste of me, myself. I hope you like it.
