Picture from photo shoot

Just wanted to show you all a picture from the photo shoot with Sunniva.....I will be using these pictures for my debut album and also for a flyer that will be handed out on my showcase.

Hope you like the idea:)

Photo shoot

Yesterday, I had a photo shoot with Sunniva Lind Høverstad. The photo shoot took place in the Black Box at LIPA. We took photos for both CD cover and promo pictures. It went really good and I can´t wait for the pictures to be edited.
The theme for the pictures was to make them look elegant, but at the same time a bit childish. I will put some of them here on my blog as soon as they are ready.

Cheeeese :D

Pictures from Studio 2:)

Hi fellas:)

Here´s some pictures from my gig at Studio 2, Parr Street 30th January. The event was called Under The Influence and each band that were playing had to perform 2 songs by Joni Mitchell and 4 originals. It was a lovely night and a lot of people came:) Enjoy some of the pictures!!!

Gig at Jacaranda Club this Tueday!!!

Hi everyone!

I will be having an acoustic gig this Tuesday at Jacaranda Club. I will be playing at 11.30. Please come and check it out:)

Update!!!

Happy new year everyone!!:D
It´s been way to long since I´ve updated this blog and it´s all my fault! Sorry!!!
For the last 3 weeks I´ve been home in Norway and enjoying my time with family and friends. For a music point of view I´ve been writing a new song and planning my last 5 months at LIPA...Quite a few gigs are coming up and studio sessions will also continue to the end of Feb. It´s really exiting times and also a lot of work for all of it to be done before moving back to Norway.

If you are interested in coming to one of my gigs this month, I will be playing at the Jacaranda Club in Slater Street 19th Jan and at the Cavern 22nd Jan. At the Cavern gig I will be playing the same night as Anna Lena and the Orchids and Monika May, which I am looking very much forward to!!!! Come around and check us all out if u got the chance:D

The 21st April I have my final performance in the PMA at LIPA. There will be a lot to work on before that date such as rehearsals, stage planning etc...But hopefully everything will be perfectly sorted out:) I´m really exited, ´cos I´m going to have a string quartet with me on stage and my good friend, Anders, back home has been helping me with the string arrangements and they sound wicked!!!! I´m also gonna bring along my lovely flatmate on harp, and off course my wonderful band who I have been working with all year! Since I know there are some Norwegian fellas reading this blog: If you´ve got the chance, please come all the way down to Liverpool to for my performance at LIPA. And if you have some questions about how to get etc, then shout out!!!

I promise I will update this blog continously from now on:)

May all your wishes for the New Year come true! xx
