What was the name of the first song you wrote?
I don't remember, but I think it was about a girl who rolled her eyes when I tried to impress her by going down the bridge in 6th grade.
What was the name of the last song you wrote?
It's called "Sriracha," and it's about the popular Thai hot sauce of the same name and plays on metaphors about how the body reacts when you eat something very spicy.
What are you working on now?
With the sequel to "Children of Europe", and production of this summer's concerts.
What is your career highlight so far?
Victory in the Urørtfinalen, and in general the experience of being able to travel around playing music live.
How do you create songs?
I usually work from scratch with my producer Eigil "Illeig" Berntsen. He starts with a drum loop and a melody riff, and I start playing with melodies and then put words to it.
Do you have a favorite instrument that you write music on?
No, in practice it can be absolutely anything as long as it has a touch of rhythm.
What do you do when you're not making music?
I hang out with my closest friends, and make both evil and good plans.
What is your greatest musical experience?
Very unsure, but I think I would have to say the Stevie Wonder concert at Roskilde 2014. It was an hour and a half hybrid of laughter and crying.
Is there anything we should have asked you about?
Where can we see you this summer?
And what is your answer to that question?
Ah, since you ask: Slottsfjell, Pstereo, Parken and Skraal, among others. See you!
