  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. With the release of her latest album "A Thousand True Stories" , Silje is once again recieving great reviews, and a dream came true with making this album. "A Thousand True Stories" was recorded with her steady band and the highly respected Metropole Orchestra from Holland, conducted and arranged by the American Grammy-award winner Vince Mendoza..... " I was so inspired while writing these songs, knowing that Mr Mendoza would be contributing his equisite fingerprints with his world renowned arrangement talent"; says Silje." I walk down a different road with my songs, and there are moments of magic that only could be created in such unique enviroment with such great band, fantastic orchestra and such an extraordinary great arranger." .. .. Silje Nergaard has been a songwriter all her life. At age 16 she entered the stage, joining a jam session at Norway’s Molde Internasjonal Jazz Festival, with a band comprising of ex-Jaco Pastorious musicians. National Jazz journalists applauded the talented artist. Ever since that day, Silje has developed as a composer and become very popular due to her unique voice and talent for songwriting. .. .. The albums “Port of Call” and the following albums, “At First Light”, and “Nightwatch” all have proved a resounding sales success. With “Nightwatch” she made history, since no other Jazz artist has twice shot straight into the Norwegian sales charts as No. 1 within the first week of release. In 2004 she was rewarded the Norwegian music award: Musician of the Year. .. .. Over the last years she has received increasing attention from abroad, as well as rapturous critics. Silje has worked with artists such as AL JARREAU, PAT METHENY & TOOTS THIELEMANNS to mention a few. Playing for her audience is important to Silje and the last years, she has been touring Europe and the Far East with her great band. With the release of the new album in 2009 – Silje will once again embrace audience around the world with her music. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....
