Norway’s hottest and most in-demand artist Bernhoft heads to London’s Cargo on May 19 for a special one-off performance. After two number one albums in Norway, an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show in the US and a performance at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, Bernhoft is set to take the UK by storm.

Often described as one of the most talented voices in the country, Bernhoft has built his career step by step. From small roles as a child on stage in the Norwegian Opera, via success with heavy rock and a record deal in Los Angeles, to his first soul influenced solo album, his music style taken many bends and detours. Now it starts to materialise like a long, wide road with a distinctive character which is unique in Norwegian music.

In January 2011 he released his second solo album, ‘Solidarity Breaks’ in Norway, an album which shows the results of many years of hard work in search of his own voice.

“I have actually always regarded records as much as a showcase for my live performances as items for sale. Now, when it’s not possible anymore to earn money from releasing music, it’s more important than ever to get out on the roads. That’s why it feels right to release a live album that hopefully will show good, old fashioned live muscles. I’m actually quite prepared for the changes in the music business”, Bernhoft says.
