Odd Nordstoga is an award-winning Norwegian folksinger with a versatile style
who was well established critically before he made his solo album debut in 2004
with Luring, a tremendously successful full-length effort that topped the charts
for 14 weeks. Born on December 10, 1972, in Vinje, Norway, he is the son of
Norwegian folksingers; his brother, Aasmund Nordstoga, is also a successful
entertainer. Nordstoga made his recording debut in 1997 with Something Odd, the
eponymous album debut of the band with which he was involved at the time. The
self-released album earned Something Odd a major-label recording deal with BMG
and resulted in the follow-up album Solreven (1998). Not much came of Something
Odds major-label album debut, however, and, swiftly dropped by BMG, the band
renamed itself Nordstoga and released an eponymous album on the label Grappa in
2000. More pop-friendly than past efforts, Nordstoga spawned a couple minor
hits, one of which (Bie PÃ¥ Deg) won an Edvardprisen award. Again in
association with Grappa, Nordstoga formed another band and released the
eponymous album Blåmann Blåmann (2001), a folk-oriented effort named after
a poem by Norwegian writer Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. The album was well received
critically and spawned a minor hit with Tippe Tippe Tuve. Nordstogas next
full-length effort on Grappa, Nivelkinn (2002), was a collaboration with fellow
folkie Øyonn Groven Myhren. Based on poems by Norwegian poet Aslaug Vaa,
Nivelkinn was an even greater critical success than Blåmann Blåmann,
winning a Spellemannprisen award in 2003. Well established by this point from a
critical standpoint, Nordstoga signed a major-label recording deal with
Universal Music and made his solo album debut in 2004 with Luring. A canny
collection of crossover folk-pop songs, the album was tremendously successful,
topping the Norwegian albums chart for 14 weeks and earning Nordstoga a pair of
Spellemannprisen awards in 2005, including one for Artist of the Year. The
follow-up efforts Heim Te Mor (2006) and Pilegrim (2008) were also commercial
blockbusters, peaking at number two on the albums chart and spawning the
respective hit singles Heim Te Mor and Min Eigen Song.
