Today we have celebrated the National Day of Norway. The 17th of May.
It´s an amazing celebration and if you ever take the trip here..you should come in May.
It´s an experience you´ll never forget ;) This year I celebrated the day at home with my family. It was an relaxing day with not even a drop of champagne. But I exchanged it with tons of ice cream and cake!
I love this day and I love my country!

Dear readers!
I won´t be writing to much on the blog while I´m in the studio, but I´ll try to make an update at least once a week!
If that´s not enough for you, I am on instagram ALL THE TIME posting photos. You can find me under “marionravn”. My Norwegian name.
Its been an adventures week that started with a strained ankle. AUCH!

This week I have started in the studio recording my new record! FINALLY! It feels really good :) I have also been so lucky to get two amazing producers , Thom Hell and Even Ormestad. They really know how to take care of my songs. It so great to hear how they grow with every instrument and every harmony recorded. I can´t wait for you all to hear it. Hopefully by the end of the year..
(depending on what country to leave in that is..) :)

Yesterday I drove to Voss in Norway to sing at the opening for their new “wind tunnel”. They somehow managed to talk me into trying it and I am so happy they did! It was so much fun! So if you ever come to Norway you should really make the trip to Voss. It´s beautiful there and they are known for their extreme sports.

Here is a new Norwegian commercial I am in for “Define Hairspray”. It was shot at a old theatre in Riga. I also wrote the commercial jingle “The one and only” :D
