About Stein Torleif Bjella Stein

Torleif Bjella had his breakthrough with the critically acclaimed solo album Heidersmenn in 2009. Since then, he has released several award-winning and Spellemann-nominated albums, including Vonde visu (Spellemann-prize winner), Heim for å døy, Gode Liv, Øvre-Ål Toneakademi and Nysetmåne. He has also collaborated with the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra, released a spoken word album, and received awards such as the Edvard Prize and the Prøysen Prize.

Bjella's music is characterized by poetic, down-to-earth lyrics and a unique ability to reach both rural and urban people. With songs like "Romantikken gjer meg sjuk", "Psykisk kan duvera sjøl", "Heidersmann" and "Tilbake i det blå", he has written himself into the Norwegian song tradition as one of the most important voices of our time.

In addition to music, Bjella is a renowned author, with the poetry collection Jordsjukantologien Nr. 1 and the novel Fiskehuset, which won the Nynorsk Litteraturpris and was nominated for the P2-lytternes novelpris.

Bjella's music has also inspired theater productions, such as Kan nokon gripe inn and Heil ved, the latter still in the repertoire at Det Norske Teatret.
