![]() ![]() Just being able to travel to these places is reward enough. Playing gigs abroad is always exciting, you never know if two people or ten show up, but I play the same show for an empty audience and an audience full of thousands of people. I love England, and USA, so that I get to see the world and visit destinations I have dreamed about by singing in Norwegian is incredible for me, and something I will never take for granted. This is one of most fun things in my entire career: that I can break out of Norway with my native language. How does it feel like to “go international” as a Norwegian artist with Norwegian lyrics? In March you are playing at MOTH Club in London, followed by South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. I have probably become more mature in my expression, but I feel like the things people fell for initially are still with me every time I go to the studio to work on something new. My music was well received because I had a certain vulnerability in my voice that was convincing, and I could fuck it up a little without it feeling like a gimmick. I got to play at By:Larm, had Tomine Harket on my first official single produced by another Hamar boy Thomas Jones, and I was in the studio as often as I could. I met some common friends of my biggest idol Arif in Trondheim, and with good timing, luck and a little coincidence, he let me try to put a verse on his debut album, which in turn led to me being signed to the management Nora Collective. I met so many great people there, and I won a prize for my exam which really made me gain hope that this could turn into something more. I needed a new environment, and I felt I had something in me that I needed to polish, cultivate and get better at. Larsiveli and Skogslosjen did a lot for me before I decided to move to Trondheim to study music. I then became acquainted with a producer in Hamar that I worked with for a couple of years and, simultaneously, I got to know some great rappers from Horten who were really on the same page as me in regards to my musical expression. I played around a lot in my childhood bedroom with my friend 3kk0, we made bad English rap songs in Hamar 12-13 years ago. How did you start out as an artist, and how has your music evolved since? I like animals, music, kind people and clothes.Įven though you just put out your debut album Midt imellom magisk og manisk (In-between magical and manical) you’re a well-established artist in Norway with many hit songs. I mix everything I like from different genres of music and wrap it in my own shiny paper. I’m a 28 year old man from a small town called Hamar, and I make a mix of R&B and pop music in Norwegian. My stage name is Unge Ferrari, but my passport says Stig J. Who are you and what kind of music do you make? Since this is your first interview with NA, let us start with an introduction.
