There's a lot of crappy music that people like, you know, all over the world, and Norway is definitely not an exception.
I've come more to terms with the fact that I sound like myself. No matter what I do, I sound like myself.
I work with really cool people, and so far I haven't been approached in any embarrassing manner when it comes to image.
I usually enter the studio with a mix of songs that I've been listening to that are relevant to the sound I want to achieve.
I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today, it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different.
History shows us that the songs - the myth, the experience and the emotion - live longer the less you explain.
