– Was even skeptical
Kjetil Mørland wrote the song “A Monster Like Me”, which won the Norwegian finals in the Melodi Grand Prix in 2015. He has also written the song “Who We Are”, which finished second in last year’s competition. In the year shall he for the first time sing even. He chose to participate because he reaches many people with his own songs as well.
– It is released thousands of songs each week, and the competition is quite small to be able to reach. It is a nice shot and great scene, a great venue to get to present what you make, ” says Kjetil Mørland to the Newspaper.
– You have people who hate and love different genres. There are 1.3 million viewers who sit and look on, although perhaps only ten per cent admit that they do it. There are some “guilty pleasures” out there, I think, ” says Mørland, and continues:
I was very skeptical before I presented myself on the first time. It was my wife who convinced me to submit your entry, and I sent it in as a songwriter first. I should have some others to act. But as one becomes older, and think that you just have to jump in there and take chances.
