Erik Norberg

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was six years old when I saw ABBA perform in my hometown, a small mining town in the far north of Sweden. They played outside, on the flat entrance roof of the local community dance pavilion. Their energetic pop songs in Swedish blew me away. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bruce Springsteen, The River Kate Bush, Never for Ever Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel Plays Live Highlights These albums shaped my musical taste in my early teens. I listened to Gabriel and Bush on my own, mesmerized by how they expressed their personalities and told small stories. With Springsteen we had group discussions about which song was the best. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Ett brev igen” I wrote this when I had found out my wife had alzheimers disease and was slowly fading away. It's about finding her old letters and remembering her as she was before and a nod to the type of music I loved back then, analog, with real musicans. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Hearing the first orchestral rehearsal of music I wrote for a musical theatre performance in Helsingborg, Sweden. After having worked with the music in my DAW for a year it was incredibly exhilarating to hear it with a live professional orchestra. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? If i can dream I would love to collaborate with my sources of inspiration, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. Besides that I just wish I have the opportunity to continue to create and bring my music to people that enjoy it. I have a lot of music inside me.
