/ 01/04/2014 / codexThis year's award winner has achieved much recognition in Norway as an author and performer. Over several decades, he has produced lyrics and melodies that have moved large parts of the population. Several songs are already classics and are widely used by other artists - in school lessons and not least in religious ceremonies. With the duet Floden from the CD Nåde, he has once again delivered a solid piece of craftsmanship. With his great ability to put his own and others' feelings into words in a credible way, he creates a trusting and warm communication between himself and his listeners. The lyrics are close, strong and popular, while at the same time having a fundamental anchoring in his Christian outlook on life.
