Norwegian voice artist: singer, poet and stage performer.

My voice is my instrument. I speak English fluently, but I also master most Norwegian dialects.

I work with improvisation and the fusion of traditional folksong and jazz.

Master of Arts, University of Oslo (1994) and Telemark University College (2009). Born 1969.

Artist statement

ACTOR- WRITER

I am you.

I listen to write, to speak, to sing. To become you.

I seek to answer:

What is the sound of a closed door? Does loneliness have a tune? How can we perceive insects in a summer’s window as music? What is the sound of childhood? An average morning? What are the songs of snow on an inland lake?

Therefore; how do things we hear change in grief or sorrow or happiness?

Or do these phenomena affect each other the other way around?

(Silent Crosses by Coleminkai, open tuned jazzblues)

I seek answers to these questions in what I write, what I sing, and what I perform. So I can become you.
