Sometimes you might feel like you're not good enough or unique enough, but everyone is! Everyone has different personalities.
I used to be so into soccer. I would wear soccer team hoodies, another soccer team's pants, and Manchester United earrings. And I had, like, five of everything, so I would just wear the same outfit all the time!
It's fun to have someone to talk to and get input from when you write. I usually get stuck when I'm just in my room writing by myself.
I grew up in a tiny village on top of a mountain and have been skiing and singing all my life!
I listen to everything and find parts about a song in the lyrics/melody/chords/production that I like and can be inspired by when I write my next song.
I'm very visual when I write and get a lot of inspiration from scrolling through Tumblr or Pinterest. I have picture folders to most of the songs I've written. It would be cool to release it as a book one day!
I went to a soccer high school, and it was really different to being on 'Idol.' So I decided to quit school, and I put all my energy into music, and things started to happen.
I just want to make good music, and as long as I'm happy with it, the charting isn't that important to me. Although, the best feeling is having a song you're very happy with and also having it at Number One!
In Norway, everyone knows everyone, and everyone is very supportive of each other. If there is anyone new, or a new song is coming out, everyone will probably know about it.
There's always a party ending every day but also a new one being made. They are just chapters in our lives, ending and beginning.
You really notice how you're growing when you go on tour. To be able to tour around the world, and do bigger venues every year, is really, really cool.
I'm very involved in the production of my songs. I know what I like and what I don't like.
Growing up, I'd never heard of any female producers or songwriters. I didn't know you could be a girl and produce, which is terrible.
Change is good, but in the middle of it, it can be very sad.
I listen to lots of artists. But I remember discovering John Mayer, whose music made me want to write my own. And so I did.
You never know what to expect when you're in America, especially when I've been in L.A., where you walk out the door, and suddenly there's a monkey bicycling by in front of you. There are just so many weird things going on there, but it's fun.
I use my phone to record notes or hum melodies. That's how I remember them.
I love watching movies, and I'm very inspired by movies when it comes to songwriting!
I love doing concerts, and I think my songs get another expression and energy when they are being played live.
I feel like if it's a good song on a guitar, it's a good song no matter what.
