Until the Eighties, Oslo was a rather boring town, but it’s changed a lot, and is now much more cosmopolitan.

My father was a Norwegian who came from a small town near Oslo. He broke his arm at the elbow when he was 14, and they amputated it.

Although I don’t know Oslo at all, there is something about the feel or the smell of the place that feels like home, which is quite interesting.
I had always wanted to make music on a big scale but never knew how it was going happen – until I saw a band in Oslo called Bridges. I was stunned. They had everything.
