The Commander-In-Chief: working on four new videos with Craig Ogden



The Commander-In-Chief

Two weeks ago, ‪#‎classical‬ ‪#‎guitar‬ virtuoso Craig Ogden and I flew to Norway to film four music videos for our upcoming album. The first video will be released later this month and the album will be released later this year. We had a big team involved in the video shoots and I want to thank them all for their dedication, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile! 

First of all, thanks to Craig Ogden for being part of this! It has been a fantastic adventure to record the album and film the videos and it will be great to do live shows together in October!
Much love and respect to producer and director Elisabeth Hagen, who worked around the clock! She had some crazy ideas for locations and I never doubted she would make it happen
Many thanks and big hugs to my fantastic tailor, Goodrich Bespoke, who did an outstanding job with my new outfits!!!!

Special thanks to OMNI production´s camera man Oscar Birk, FlixFilm´s camera man Derek Bateman and the two teams from Panorama Norge AS and Cinecopter AS, who were in control of the Drones with cameras! All of you did a brilliant job and the footage looks awesome!

Much love and hugs to the fantastic make up artist who traveled from abroad to do this for me! Also big hugs to the extraordinary hair stylist Iris Jamne!
