A week at Lysefjorden

I've just spent a week at Lysefjorden with Mountain Wave Music, writing songs with an incredible group of musicians. It was a little bit magical.

Dear friends,

I've just spent a week at Lysefjorden with Mountain Wave Music, writing songs with an incredible group of musicians. It was a little bit magical.

The fjord has these huge cliffs going straight down into the water, and it's hard to explain how much they did to us. It almost felt like the fjord was part of the group, just sitting there with us the whole time while we wrote.

Everyone brought their own sound and their own way of seeing things, and somehow it all fit together. A week full of music and good people.

Next week I'm going to Sweden to record more music. And soon I'm releasing my second single.

XOXO
