Sondre Justad (2019)

Sondre Justad (born October 15, 1990 ) is a Norwegian pop singer and songwriter who publishes songs in the Norwegian language .

Life

Justad grew up in Henningsvær on the Lofoten archipelago . He attended the music line of the secondary school in Bodø . With the money he earned fishing as a teenager, he financed musical instruments and recordings in a music studio owned by Jahn Teigen in Oslo . At the age of 16 he published his own music for the first time.

In 2014 he signed a contract with the music label Petroleum Records and he moved to Oslo . With the song Nu har du mæ he managed to be played more often on the radio for the first time. This was followed by the singles Det e over , Tilbake and Riv i hjierter . The latter became the most played song in the Norwegian language in 2015. In October 2015 he released his debut album Riv i hjierter , which reached sixth place in the Norwegian music charts and was nominated for the Spellemannprisen . The critic Marius Asp from the radio station NRK P3 gave the album three out of six points and criticized, among other things, that there was no surprising twist.

In 2016 he released the song Tida vi bare va and in 2017 he released the single Ingenting og Paradis . His second album Ingenting i paradis reached number four on the Norwegian album charts in 2018. In a review by Torgrim Øyre at Dagbladet , the album received four out of six possible points. Øystein Ingebrigtsen from the newspaper Lofotposten awarded five out of six points and noted that several new approaches and surprises would have been possible. In the summer of 2019 he went on a tour of Norway, in which he appeared at 24 festivals, among others. He then announced that he would now concentrate on new music and not want to perform for a long time.

In March 2018, he said on Anne Lindmo's talk show Lindmo that he was bisexual .

Style and commitment

Justad is more often compared to the Swedish singer Håkan Hellström because they both combine everyday and personal problems with melodic pop music. Sondre Justad himself explained that the Swede is an inspiration for his music. Other role models include Oskar Linnros , Daniel Adams-Ray and Veronica Maggio .

Justad sings in his northern Norwegian dialect. He is politically committed to his homeland Lofoten and, among other things, wore a T-shirt on an election program on the Norwegian radio station Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), on which he condemned plans for oil production in his homeland. In January 2020, he criticized the then energy and oil minister, Sylvi Listhaug , for issuing licenses for the further search for oil.
