Biography

Åge Aleksandersen (born 21 March 1949) is a Norwegian singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is one of his country's best known musicians.
Some of his most well known songs are "Lys og varmeLys og varme1997 · Album · CompilationSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 15 tracks1Lys og varme8:422Med hud og hår2:193Så gla i dæ5:094Akkurat no3:525Rio de Janeiro3:146Dekksguten4:487Fire pils og en pizza3:438Dains me mæ4:489Fremmed fugl6:0910Tonen5:5611Eldorado5:2412Leva livet4:1013Skin sola5:3614Sang til månen4:2315Arild2:57" ("Light and Warmth"), "Fire pils og en pizza" ("Four Beers and a Pizza"), Levva Livet (Living Life) and "Rosalita".
Together with Sambandet, he participated in Melodi Grand Prix 1980 with the song "Bjørnen sover" ("The Bear Is Sleeping"), ultimately coming second. He also wrote and performed "Snørosa" ("The Snowrose"), the official song of the 1997 Nordic skiing World Championship (held in Trondheim) together with two other musicians from the region, Ulf Risnes and Bjarne Brøndbo and the Nidaros Cathedral Boys' Choir.
Aleksandersen has sold almost 1.5 million copies of his many albums in Norway alone.
