Espen Lind
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.

Kurt Nilsen
Award-winning singer-songwriter Kurt Nilsen can remember working daily to support his kids as a plumber, and then struggling nightly to pursue his dreams as a musician. Nilsen’s anthemic story would find him rising to prominence as a powerhouse Norwegian artist who won the international singing competition, World Idol. Back home, he is beloved for his dazzling Christmas shows, his stunning vocal prowess, and his country-tinged solo albums. For his latest album, Like My Love For The Ocean, out February 2026, Nilsen decided to shake things up by creating a gorgeous crooner-with-orchestra album. It’s a romantic and cinematic modern classic perfect for a sophisticated international audience that savors Malbecs and espressos. Nilsen’s songwriting abilities have often been overshadowed by his gifts as a singer, until now. Like My Love For The Ocean is the perfect setting for his sumptuous vocals. It’s an album that invites comparisons to Chet Baker, Willie Nelson—who Nilsen has worked with—and Norah Jones. It’s Nilsen’s first album with an orchestra, and it features Norway's finest—the Grammy-winning ensemble, TrondheimSolistene. From winning World Idol, he embarked on a chart-topping solo career. His Christmas album, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, stayed on top of the Norwegian album charts for five consecutive weeks. He has performed with a diverse array of artists, from Willie Nelson to former Spice Girl Melanie C.
