In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember the sound of my Rhodes piano the first time I touched it. It was speaking to another time, a timeless spirit and feeling. I remember sneaking out to my garage at night playing on my piano, writing my first song at the age of fourteen. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? ANOHNI, Antony and the Johnsons, I Am a Bird Now Ane Brun, When I'm Free (Deluxe) Joni Mitchell, Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975) Ane Brun's album ‘When I’m Free‘ from 2015 has excellent sound and ANOHNI's album ‘I Am a Bird Now‘ from 2005 touches my soul. They both have a distinct characteristic emotional soundscape and identity. ‘Blue‘ by Joni Mitchell is a melodic dream. 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. “Something” A whole new, different world with guitars, pedal steel, harding fiddle and upright bass. Together with great musicians I have made a new sonic experience about the feeling of heading home. This song is a journey home to roots/childhood; to the past. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I played at the Norwegian Embassy in Berlin in 2020 or for the Norwegian prime minister in 2019. Or when the Norwegian critics called my record as our time's "Fairytales" by Radka Toneff & as Norway's answer to both Tori Amos and Agnes Obel. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? So many things left on my bucket list. I want to release 100 albums and play all over the world. I want to connect with more people, I want to do something good with my music and I want to spread love. I have nearly started!
