Holy moly this episode was a really special one! Øystein Pettersen surprised me on the show, and we had an incredible conversation about what inclusion really means for young people today. As someone I look up to for his work with Team Pølsa, it was inspiring to connect around our shared values, especially through my work on this year’s BlimE! release. I also got to share something deeply personal: I’ve invested in building a new music studio complex at the culture school in Flisa, my hometown. It’s a dream come true to give back to the community that shaped me and help the next generation find their own voice through music.

The song I made in collaboration with Agnete and BlimE! titled "Være med" comes out Friday June 6th, listen here:
