In my opinion Norwegian artists in modern era were never ‘hungry enough’, because if you are hungry then you do like A-Ha did for example, go abroad to either UK or Germany and get a big label there.”

Per Sundnes, The Nordics Unveiled



“If there is something that is original about the Nordic pop culture, being Norwegian, Swedish, Finish or Russian is the indigenous Sami.”

Per Sundnes, The Nordics Unveiled
