   About Kristin Asbjornsen
19th January 2009 Kristin released her new enchanting solo-album “The night shines like the day” in Norway. The album has been critically acclaimed and it is the first album totally based on Kristin’s own lyrics and music. The music is a powerful, mesmerizing beautiful exploration; quiet and intense, with an incredibly strong awareness in the way Kristin is approaching the songs. Check out: WWW.KRISTINASBJORNSEN.COM

"Wayfaring stranger - A Spiritual songbook" (2006/7) was Kristins first solo-album, based on African-American spirituals. The album as well as an extended European release-tour was met with outstanding reviews! The album has received a Platinum Disc and the Norwegian Music Awards (equ to Grammy) nomination. These days Kristin is touring with spirituals in France and she is nominated to the French music award:"Babel Med Mondomix Award".

Kristin Asbjørnsen made her international debut as a film score composer for the movie Factotum, based on a novel by Charles Bukowski. A Norwegian/American production by Bent Hamer/Jim Stark. Her soundtrack album "FACTOTUM" is being critically acclaimed in the US.(www.milanrecords.com)

Kristin has featured on a number of album releases, as well as a series of tours and festival performances in Europe. Buy "The night shines like the day" at Itunes: Kristin Asbjørnsen
