Merry Xmas!

December 15, 2008 – 5:47 pm
Hi again, It's been quite a while since I wrote anything here, but now I'm sitting on the train from Stockholm to Copenhagen, and on Wednesday I'll fly home to the Faroes for Christmas. I don't mind spending five hours on this train. It's nice to be left to yourself once in  a while...just thinking can be quite entertaining. I've been fully occupied writing songs to my next album up until a few weeks ago, when we sat down and chose 10  songs out of 50 recorded demos. It was much harder than I thought it would be...and you really need to kill your darlings. My A&R told me that there would only be room for ten songs on the album. If I wanted 12 songs,  they would have to be so good that I'd cry if they were left out ;) (And of course there will be twelve songs... ;)  Now ...

Copenhagen and COLDPLAY!

September 21, 2008 – 10:51 am
Hi again ;) This week has been pretty amazing! I was in Copenhagen last Saturday and wrote with an artist and called Jade Ell. You should definitely check out here myspace, she's got a very original spiritual voice ! We wrote a great song that we're gonna make as a duet. Monday - Tuesday I was co-writing with Mads Haugaard and Marcus Winther-John. I guess we just were lucky, or at least the chemistry was right, because I've got the feeling that the song we wrote is one of the best I've ever written, and that's a great feeling...look out for it when the album is out;) it's called "You just Know". On Thursday 18th we were in Globen, Stockholm - listening to one of my absolute favorite bands COLDPLAY... I knew that the concert would be good, but I never dreamt that it could ...

Music Against Drugs

September 8, 2008 – 11:54 pm
This weekend I had the great pleasure to perform at a big concert in Stockholm, that was part of a festival which main idea was to create a debate about the increasing drug problem, here in Sweden and in the rest of the world. A lot of different artists attended the Music Against Drugs concert in Kungsträdgården on the 7th of September. It was fantastic to play with Anders Neglins Orchestra, I think they were about 15. And I must point out that they were one the most amazing musicians I've ever played with. Sweden's most beloved songbird, Sanna Nielsen, was so kind to suggest that we sang a duet together, and it was awesome! You should definitely chech out her new album:) Now I'm back in the studio, recording vocals to a song I wrote with two Danes in Copenhagen last week, ...

Saturday’s Adventures

March 8, 2008 – 7:04 pm
Today we recorded another song that I wrote together with Julia Eriksson and Gustav Efraimson...turned out really cool. I've been all excited to try my new entirely handbuilt German microphone, the brand is called Brauner. Today was the microphone's "virgin-session":) And I must admit that it had just an amazing organic and honest sound that truly inspires me...well...enough of nerdy mic talk.These past few days have been kinda hectic, finally catched up with some things I should have done weeks ago. But I believe I'm not the only one...no excuse but at least that makes me feel a little better;)Went to a concert with Teitur in Södra Teatern on Tuesday. Absolutely fabulous. The songs from his new album The Singer were experimental in a very cool way, and the whole concert had a great blend of his earlier and newer stuff.  The old theatre is very special, and I'd like ...

Co-writes

February 19, 2008 – 11:41 am
Hi Again,I'm still high from writing with Kbros this weekend, feels like a great song, can't wait until it's finished.Yesterday I was out in the Archipelago of Stockholm in Lasse Andersson's studio. We wrote a song with great energy, it will be great playing it with the band.On Saturday there was a Faroese "come together" with alot of Faroese food and music. The main course was dried lamb. Believe me it's delicious. But the smell is very distinctive, and my coat's been hanging outside the house for two days:)  What concerns movies, I watched too many bad ones last week. But on Sunday I was moved by "Notes On A Scandal" with Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. One to watch, incredible acting! Have a nice day...

Sunny Day in Stockholm

February 18, 2008 – 11:01 am
It's been a few days since the Eurovision Song Contest in Gothenburg, it was a great experience for me. And it was a lot of fun to get a taste of Swedish Eurovision. Now I'm back in Stockholm, the sky is blue and I'm going in to town now, to a studio near Fridhemsplan. Have a nice day;) Lullaby on YouTube
