I listen to everything and find parts about a song in the lyrics/melody/chords/production that I like and can be inspired by when I write my next song.

Sometimes you might feel like you're not good enough or unique enough, but everyone is! Everyone has different personalities.

I feel like if it's a good song on a guitar, it's a good song no matter what.

I used to be so into soccer. I would wear soccer team hoodies, another soccer team's pants, and Manchester United earrings. And I had, like, five of everything, so I would just wear the same outfit all the time!

There's always a party ending every day but also a new one being made. They are just chapters in our lives, ending and beginning.

I love watching movies, and I'm very inspired by movies when it comes to songwriting!

I'm very visual when I write and get a lot of inspiration from scrolling through Tumblr or Pinterest. I have picture folders to most of the songs I've written. It would be cool to release it as a book one day!

Change is good, but in the middle of it, it can be very sad.

I grew up in a tiny village on top of a mountain and have been skiing and singing all my life!

It's fun to have someone to talk to and get input from when you write. I usually get stuck when I'm just in my room writing by myself.

I love doing concerts, and I think my songs get another expression and energy when they are being played live.

I'm very involved in the production of my songs. I know what I like and what I don't like.

In Norway, everyone knows everyone, and everyone is very supportive of each other. If there is anyone new, or a new song is coming out, everyone will probably know about it.

You really notice how you're growing when you go on tour. To be able to tour around the world, and do bigger venues every year, is really, really cool.

I never think any song really feels like a 'hit' - a song either feels good or bad, in my opinion.

The music industry has become so unpredictable. And I think people know that if someone has a Number One song, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have several ones after.

I would love to do some collaborations for my album - the more the merrier! It's fun to experiment and get to tap into different genres and sounds through collaborations.

some different fun love

I just want to make good music, and as long as I'm happy with it, the charting isn't that important to me. Although, the best feeling is having a song you're very happy with and also having it at Number One!

I listen to lots of artists. But I remember discovering John Mayer, whose music made me want to write my own. And so I did.

I was really into Britney Spears when I was little.

I think I just have to be myself. No one can write the songs I do, and no one can sing the way I do - I believe that's important for every artist to remember.
