About
Espen Lind is an award-winning songwriter, producer, and recording artist, and one of the most influential figures in Norwegian pop music. He rose to fame in the late 1990s with When Susannah Cries, a ballad that topped charts across Europe and became a timeless classic. His breakthrough album Red sold over 600,000 copies worldwide and earned him the Spellemannprisen for Artist of the Year. Lind went on to co-write global hits such as Beyoncé’s Irreplaceable (Billboard #1 for ten weeks) and Train’s Hey, Soul Sister, one of the best-selling singles of the 2010s. His writing and production credits include Taylor Swift, Lionel Richie, Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo, and Mark Owen of Take That. In Norway, he has worked with Sissel Kyrkjebø, Ingebjørg Bratland, Kurt Nilsen, and Vamp – whose Liten fuggel was the country’s best-selling album in 2012. In 2025, Lind composed the original score for NRK’s critically acclaimed drama Rekviem for Selina. He took part in the Norwegian TV success Hver gang vi møtes in 2026.
