Hello.
My name is Marit Larsen and I compose pop music with no rules.
My everyday life revolves around making my songs. I find songs everywhere.
In between two words of a conversation. Waiting for the bus. Watching
myself in the mirror wearing a good dress. Reading phenomenal books. Walking up the
five flights of stairs to my apartment.
I've always been obsessed with music. Most of my memories, good and
bad, have their own soundtrack (which is, by the way, by far the best
thing about music). This is what does it for me: A song can remind you what it's like being in love. It can even make you fall in love. The right song can mend you, break your heart, and, well, change your life. I know there is a tremendously long list of songs that have changed mine. I'll probably be struggling to write change-your-life-forever-tunes the rest of my life.
I play the piano, the guitar and sometimes the mandolin. When I write,
I usually use them all. To me, different instruments show me
different paths in lyrics and melody. It works out well.
It wasn't until I was nineteen I decided to be a solo artist. A few
years prior to that I was part of a duo that released
records on a big American record label and travelled the world for
four years. It was all absolutely overwhelming and exciting. I
learned a lot.
Especially this: When I was constantly travelling, going from one place
to the next, talking about myself so much I almost forgot who I was
talking about, always thinking about tomorrow and never today - I
almost stopped writing songs. It sounds vain, but I almost lost
my music.
My first album "Under The Surface" was released in 2006 and my second, "The Chase", in 2008. The album "If A Song Could Get Me You" is a compilation of both these albums, made as a "Marit Larsen for dummies" sort of thing, for territories where my music is just now being released for the very first time. After all, you only have one chance to make a first impression, and I'm proud of my older songs too.
I feel humble and priviliged being able to compose and perform
music for a living. As long as I have stories to tell, I will keep writing,
and as long as I keep writing I will continue this surreal way of life.
Hei Marit, Jeg vil at dere endelig se konserten i Mainz. Det vil sikkert igjen fantastisk. Din musikk er så vakker og du ser så flott. Jeg er glad for at jeg har møtt deg. Uten deg ville livet mitt kjedelig. Gjør det bra. Greetings from Bad Schwalbach
