For more than 20 years, Dove Award-winning recording artist Solveig Leithaug (Sol-vey Light-houg) Henderson has won audiences worldwide with her soothing voice, remarkable guitar playing and songwriting talents. Her latest international release;” Worship You”, produced by Tore W. Aas, with eleven original songs, was released on Authentic Records (former WORD UK).
Authentic Records dubs her release as “in vogue, and long awaited”. An original member of the Oslo Gospel Choir, (with over one million sold CDs,) she’s been a staple on the Scandinavian gospel scene and performed throughout Europe and the USA since her late teens. In 1984, at the tender age of 18, she was awarded as “Artist of the Year”, by the music magazine “Treff”, and at 20, Solveig received the Dove Award as “International Artist of the Year” by the Gospel Music Association in Nashville, TN. She was recently the recipient of the 2008 Angel Award, and the 2008 Angel Award for her music video featuring the CD's opening cut, "All the Way to Heaven", produced by Dan & Raven Rubottom with Epiphany Creative.
Her first Christmas CD,(done as two releases in Norwegian and English) was produced by Steve Hindalong (Sixpense None the Richer, Jeremy Camp, The Choir, City on a Hill- Worship Series). The CD features a collection of 12 of today’s most loved Christmas carols. Jim Chaffee with Chaffee Management Group is the Executive Producer and A & R for these productions. (See blog for more information on songs and musicians.)
The Norwegian version will be out early November, 2008. The English version of the Christmas CD will be available as a pre-release in Solveig’s online gift shop by November 1, and will be officially released internationally in 2009. (www.solveigmusic.com)
From being a guest artist at official parliament functions, to doing worship services from prisons to jazz cafés, cathedrals and arenas, Solveig seeks to make music that brings peace, inspires and uplifts. An ordained minister since 1994, she has contributed commentary to Thomas Nelsons “Women of Destiny Bible”. She was featured on Bill Gaither’s Homecoming DVD “How Great Thou Art” taped at the Grand Ole Opry, and has performed on numerous Homecoming concerts since 2005, as well as lead worship for Billy Graham's daughter Anne Graham Lotz' "Just Give Me Jesus".
Solveig has released six solo projects in English, and seven in her native Norwegian, in addition to three bestselling. Besides her two "home lands"; Norway and the USA, she has performed in nations such as Albania, South Africa, Malaysia, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Holland, Monaco, Finland, Austria, The United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland.
Solveig, an island girl at heart, grew up on Norway’s west coast, Frekhaug, Norway. She serves as president for Heart Strings Int'l, a non profit ministry, formerly known as Soldiers for Jesus. Solveig counts it her greatest joy to be the mother of David Levi, Kari Julianna and John Markus. They make their home in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs, CO.
