I'm a huge fan of Renaissance art. It's very direct. They're paintings that hit you in the face in the same immediate way that a huge pop tune hits you in the face.

I didn't grow up listening to him - my parents listened more to Neil Young and Joni Mitchell - but I lived in a flatshare for two years, and my flatmate loved Leonard Cohen. He would always play him when he got home from the studio or something.

That's the thing: pop music has sometimes had a bad reputation for being about a lot of other stuff than the music. And I am just a lover of pop music. I love pop. I love big choruses. Dramatic choruses - they're the best thing in the world. And I do this because I love making music and performing the songs.

Not being treated OK is something everyone can relate to, no matter what age or gender.

My mum loves jazz, and together we listen to loads of Chet Baker back home.

When I first heard my song on the radio, I started crying. My baby was out there, and it all became very real.

When I wake up in the morning, the one thing I think about is being comfortable and wearing enough clothes.

It's a lot to take in to have won something as prestigious as BBC Music Sound Of.

Adele's one of my favourite artists!

I didn't think music was possible for me - it's such an up-and-down life.

My favourite thing about being in nature is that I feel so small and kind of insignificant.

My goal is to write catchy songs that make people feel something.

I've always been the shy one.

Maybe after my third album, I'll just go to uni. That would be really cool.

Scandinavia can be quite fashionable.

We have some fans that come to almost all of our shows, and they will travel to different countries to see us - that's pretty amazing.

I'm obsessed with wool.

I remember when I started writing lyrics, I was very grand. I tried to use a lot of symbols,because I thought that's how songwriting should be - with imagery and metaphor. I figured, after a while, maybe I should just write it as I would say in real life.

Even in high school, music was just a really fun thing on the side. I don't think I grasped the fact that it could be a profession.

Most of the songs I write are full of power, and I'm suspecting it may come from my love for grotesque Renaissance art and the Eurovision Song Contest.

There's a Norwegian equivalent to 'BBC Introducing' called 'P3 Untouched,' and I remember when they played the first song I ever wrote that I'd put online. I was 16 at that point. That was the first moment where I was like, 'Oh, maybe this is something I want to do more of.'

The first time I listened to Coldplay, I was at a train station in Paris with my family on holiday. I put on 'Clocks' on my discman, and I fell in love.

I would love to meet or work with Sofia Coppola. Or Wes Anderson or Spike Jonze. I'd love to meet them. The way they film, it's all so geometric.

I love Robyn. 'Dancing on My Own' is one of my favourite songs.

Playing piano and singing whatever comes naturally is the best thing for me - the only thing that feels genuine.

You don't know how long it's going to last. I don't know what's going to happen after I put out my first album.

I like to be dramatic in my music because that's when it gets to your heart.

I wasn't a huge fan of superhero movies before I watched 'Wonder Woman.' That was a really cool film - I really like all the stunts.

Festival line-ups should have all types of music. It's part of cultural growth.

There are two places where I can completely relax: in nature and by the piano.
