Ingrid Olava Biography

Ingrid Olava is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on March 18, 1981 in Lillehammer, Norway. Ingrid Olava Brænd Eriksen (known as Ingrid Olava, born 18 March 1981) is a Norwegian singer and musician, best known for her debut single “Only Just Begun” from 2007 and as a backup singer for Madrugada. After hearing her live performance, EMI Music Norway invited her to play in a studio, and later signed her.

Brænd Eriksen was also a member of the Lillehammer-based band Shit City, but left them in the 2007. In the summer of 2008, she played on the Hove Festival, Træna, and Øyafestivalen where she surprised with her interpretation of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Take This Waltz”. She has also accompanied several other Norwegian artists, such as El Cuero.

Brænd Eriksen’s second album, The Guest, produced by Frode Jacobsen and Alexander Kloster-Jensen, was released in February 2010.

She appeared in the final minute of the season one finale of the Netflix original series Lilyhammer (2011) playing piano and singing “Back To Love” as Steve Van Zandt sat with her at the piano.

After the record company EMI Music Norway heard her at a concert, they invited her to a studio with a giant grand piano, and told her to play. “At first, I played several of my own [songs]. Then I asked if they wanted to hear more. Which they did, so I continued with both my own and others’ [songs].” The session resulted in a record contract and the debut album Juliet’s Wishes, produced among others by Frode Jacobsen of Madrugada. Brænd Eriksen received two Spellemannprisen-nominations for the album, Newcomer of the Year and Best Pop Composition, for the song “Back to Love”. The single “Only Just Begun” was first played at by:Larm in 2007, and received acclaim from both audiences and critics. According to herself, the song is inspired by “The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde”.

Brænd Eriksen was 20 years old before she began singing seriously. Her first gig was at Utøya, at a youth camp, but the first breakthrough was at a concert at the John Dee Live Club & Pub, in November 2004, where she warmed up for Vidar Vang. “I’m pretty shy, have never asked to be booked, always invited. Vidar asked me if I could play some tunes, but I did not have many. “How many do you want me to play?” “Five or six pieces,” was the reply. It was about what I had, so I went home and wrote the sixth just before the concert”, Brænd Eriksen said.

In the summer of 2006 Ingrid Olava played on several festivals, including the Quart Festival, the Slottsfjell Festival, Træna and KlubbØya, and was praised for several of her concerts. In the fall of 2006 Sivert Høyem and Frode Jacobsen attended one of her concerts in Oslo, the result of which was that she joined a two-month tour as supporting artist for Sivert Høyem.

In 2008, she recorded a version of “Her kommer vinteren” (“Here Comes the Winter”), originally written by Joachim Nielsen and performed by Jokke & Valentinerne. The song was an unexpected success, and was put into heavy rotation on NRK P3. Brænd Eriksen subsequently made an agreement with Christopher Nielsen that all proceeds from the sales of the song would go to the Rainforest Foundation Fund.
