Christian Ingebrigtsen is one of Norway’s most celebrated and accomplished artists, songwriters, and producers. As a member of the British-Norwegian pop group a1, he rose to international fame in the early 2000s with two UK number one hits, a Brit Award for Best Newcomer, and eight UK Top 10 singles. Together, the band sold over ten million albums worldwide and continues to tour across the UK, Scandinavia, and Asia.

Christian launched his solo career in 2003, topping the Norwegian charts with several hit singles and earning gold and platinum certifications for his albums. His heartfelt songwriting and unmistakable voice quickly established him as a household name in Norway.

Renowned for his powerful stage presence, Christian has become a sought-after live performer across the country. His annual Christmas tour has become a cherished tradition for audiences across Norway, now spanning over 50 concerts each year. He’s also an accomplished voice actor, lending his voice to leading roles in Norwegian versions of Disney classics such as Tangled and Brother Bear. In 2009, he made his musical theatre debut as Marius in Les Misérables at Oslo Nye Teater.

Christian continues to write and release new music as a solo artist, staying true to his passion for heartfelt songwriting and timeless melodies. In 2017, he returned with a new studio album that marked a vibrant new chapter in his career. The single Still became a radio hit in Norway, reaffirming his place on the national pop landscape and introducing his music to a new generation of listeners. This was followed by his first full-length Norwegian-language album in 2021, expanding his artistic reach and deepening his bond with audiences at home.

In 2020, Christian co-wrote and produced Attention, Norway’s official entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, performed by Ulrikke Brandstorp. The song won Melodi Grand Prix and resonated with audiences both at home and abroad.

Christian was born into a musical family—his father, Stein Ingebrigtsen, was one of Scandinavia’s most successful artists during the 1970s. Inspired by his legacy, Christian studied music at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), where he was discovered by manager Tim Byrne and introduced to the other members of what would become a1.

In 2024, Christian released Loved—his most personal and powerful solo album to date—celebrating 25 years as a recording artist with heartfelt songs that blend elements of pop, country, and cinematic soundscapes, featuring uplifting lyrics and stories that reflect his journey as both a musician and a storyteller.
