A native of Arendal, Norway, 19-year-old singer Torine is a new and exciting name in the Norwegian pop scene. With her new single ‘Irresponsible’, she shows an intimate side that is both unflinching and vulnerable, with a song about the recklessness of impulsive love.

Torine has been doing music for as long as she can remember. She reminisces about being on stage even as a 4-year-old, performing concerts in her hometown; “Every week I invited neighbours and family members to a concert at home in the living room. I think they got a little bored with it after a while!”. Being on stage is something Torine got inherently used to.

Given her immense talent, these initial modest performances naturally evolved to grander and grander stages, from school graduations to local choir performances to eventually being seen by millions of TV viewers across Norway. Making her breakthrough on Idol in 2016, she instantly made a huge impression on the Norwegian public conscience, coming ninth overall. Due to her mesmerising performances, she was soon picked up by fellow Norwegian star Alan Walker, and set about making a similar mark on the international scene, with tour dates throughout Italy and Spain with the internationally renowned DJ.

Although inspired by pop royalty like Zara Larsson and Astrid S, Torine wants to add something new and fresh to the Scandinavian pop flora, with songs that surprise as much as they comfort.
