Torun Eriksen and Spirit in the Dark Norway

Norwegian jazz singer Torun Eriksen made her debut with the album Glittercard on the renowned Jazzland Rec label in 2003. Since then, she has made her mark as a distinctive voice, with an ever-increasing audience on the Norwegian and international music stage. A veteran recording artist, she is equally at home in folk, pop and blues settings, and often blends them seamlessly in her original compositions.

Torun’s music has been arranged for chamber orchestras, big bands and choirs. The collaboration with German Jazzchor Freiburg started in 2007, and they have toured with their project in Japan, Korea, Germany and France. As a lyricist, Torun has written for and collaborated with artists like Sarah Chaksad, Julia Hülsmann, Susan Weinert, Bugge Wesseltoft, Jan Felix May and Nils Wülker.
