We welcome our first Norwegian guest, Ole Paulsen, the voice and co-song writer from Dance Pop duo 2 Brave.
These young lads put their dreams before their studies after receiving good feedback from EMI to their demos in Norway. They decided to come to London and pursue a career in music, embarking on gruelling club date promo tours, acquiring an abundance of screaming fans, generating more fan mail at London Records than label mates Bananarama, but frustratingly this never translated into hard sales figures.
The duo eventually ending up in L.A. songwriting and living the dream.
Ole is now a respected businessman with an influential book publication available, but is still enjoying creating music, and embracing AI in touching up the old 2 Brave compositions.
