I've moved 11 times the past ten years
I was on the Norwegian version of "the voice"
Q. What makes your Voice Stand Out from other Artists?

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
A. Whoa, that's a tough one. I love going with the wind, taking opportunities handed to me, and just live my life to the fullest, even though I have no idea what it holds. I am so lucky right now that I get to do what I truly love, so hopefully there will be more songs to be sung, more places to visit and lots of more friendships to make.
Q: Where do you get your inspiration from?
A. I mostly get inspired by other people and their thoughts and conversations. I believe our journeys are somehow defined by who we meet. I also get inspired by nature (which we do have a lot of in Norway). I was up north for a week this summer and ended up writing three new songs. And of course I get inspired listening to music other people make, especially people I know.
Q: Who would you rather listen to UK or US Music?
A. My oppinion is that US music is more commercial and UK music got more personality to it, I am (without doubt) listening most to UK music. UK music is not just about appearance but puts more weight to the music, not as superficial as US music.
