PlanetProjectEvents's video: Bjorn Lislegaard: 2 Minuty Gibraltar International Song Festival 2016

Bjorn Lislegaard (Norway) Authors/Composers: Marek Koscikievic, Slawek Romanowski Bjorn was born in Oslo, where he started playing the guitar when he was 10 years old. Five years later he got his first recording equipment, allowing him to begin producing music. This soon developed into his lifestyle, so much so, that he formed part of the band, Made in Norway, for 11 years as guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Several years ago, Bjorn decided to embark on the revolution of this life and moved to Poland, where his wife comes from. There he had the pleasure of joining Varius Manx, one of the best selling bands in the country. In addition, he produced songs, played as a session musician for many famous Polish artists (e.g. Volver, Tomasz Korpanty, Robert Breen, Bad Boys Blue) and wrote Lyrics. In 2010 and 2012 he qualified for the finals of the Carpathia Festival in Rzeszow, Poland, and in 2010, took part in Eurovoice in Athens with his song, Up the hill.
