Christmas Concert with Moddi

About

About

Moddi's voice is, for many, the very sound of Christmas, especially since the young man from Senja was handpicked by Crown Prince Haakon to perform "Nordnorsk julesalme" at the Royal Christmas concert in 2011. Since then, his music has become beloved by all, and last year, Moddi released his very first Christmas album!

Moddi has a complex relationship with the Christmas season, both the good and the challenging aspects. "I have a hard time finding peace with all the stress and expectations," he shares. "That's why I wanted to make a Christmas album about the things I wish Christmas could be about: finding each other again after a long and hectic year, taking a deep breath, and feeling at home where you are."

His album *Denne tida i fjor* is full of highlights, including guest contributions from Frida Ånnevik, the Arctic Philharmonic, and a re-recording of "Nordnorsk julesalme."

"I've tried to make an album that brings out the contrasts, both the beautiful and the difficult things. I believe I'm not the only one who needs that," Moddi explains.
