As beautiful to the eye as she is to the ear, Norwegian singer/songwriter Elvira Nikolaisen is a thoughtful vocalist with a bent toward melodic, adult-alternative rock. Born in Moi, Norway in 1980, Elvira grew up in a family of seven children. Nurtured on music from an early age, the Nikolaisen dynasty includes Emil and Hilma of Serena Maneesh, and Ivar (Blanco) from the rock-band Silver.
Her debut album Quiet Exit was released on Sony BMG (Columbia) in 2006 and spent more than 20 weeks at top 10 (peaking at no. 2), making it the most successful Norwegian album of the year. Produced by Knut Schreiner (Turbonegro and Euroboys) Quiet Exit included no less than 3 major hit singles, all of whom got heavy rotation on national and local radio. Through 2006 and spring 2007, Elvira toured the country extensively, and by mid 2007 she is considered one of Norway’s biggest female stars.
Elvira released Indian Summer (april 2008) follow up to Quiet Exit this spring, and is already working on new material for her third album due out in 2009.
