I ate my favourite breakfast almost everyday...this time I was living in Chinatown, a very different but cool neighbourhood! Me and my buddy Derrick!
Met up with Fredrikstad Kæll Andreas Ihlebæk just outside where 2014 will be all about!! I also met - THIS guy....
"Sitting on the stairs outside where it's all going to happen in February. This random guy comes over and sits down next to me and says with a philosophic look in his eyes : "Who shaved the gorillaz". I love this city. It speaks to you in so many different ways. #NYC"
And on the place back to Oslo I wrote a piece inspired by this surreal rendez-vous...and performed it just hours after I had landed.
Spring street & Mulberry. Where I find peace in NYC. Just hangin' with the birds, before take off back to Oslo.
And this Thursday - I´m off to China!
Had a wonderful mini tour in April in Buchurest, Romania, with lots of fun that lead to an invitation this september where I will be performing and also conducting. Excited!! Thank you "Hand to Hand" for a great opportunity to spread artistic love and music in Romania! Especially for the children!!
And yeah, Igors cousins participated in the concert as well!! (Igor got so jealous.....)
I am super happy about a cool collaboration and sponsorship with Coca-Cola!! And that´s why I just had to get a hold of a true Coca-Cola Surfing Café de Concert bat mobile to cruise around in this summer! (In collaboration with Ludvig Hedberg) Her name is Solveig. Isn't she wonderful?
Oh, and did you miss out on my May 17th celebration? Well, there´s always next year for 'ya!!
