Sondre Lerche is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter born on September 5th, 1982 in Bergen, Norway. He discovered his passion for music at a young age and wrote his first song "Locust Girl" when he was just 14 years old. Recognized for his talent, Lerche was signed by Virgin Records (Norway) after being discovered by Norwegian producer H.P. Gundersen. In 2000, he released his debut album and has since become an influential figure in the music industry.

2017 sees Sondre Lerche finally shares part two of his most ambitious musical project so far. Anchored by parallel universe-megahit "Bad Law", 2014's remarkable break-up record 'Please' received two Norwegian Grammy nominations, as well as being described as "a pop masterpiece" by Popmatters, who listed it as one of 2014's best records. The sequel - of sorts - is called 'Pleasure'. The heart is confused, the body is restless. It's spreading to the music, which offers both hedonistic escape, ruthless self-examination, helpless indecision and - of course - tremendous pleasure. This is Sondre Lerche in limbo. Norwegian singer, songwriter and guitarist Sondre Lerche is an artist who never seems to lose the desire to evolve. His curiosity constantly puts him in touch with new impulses, as he combines contemporary inspirations with his well-known appetite for the infinite wealth of musical delights of the past. Lerche steals, juxtaposes, and cultivates ever-changing rituals of creation that become an effortless part of his unusual musical vocabulary. Lerche seems inspired by everything from Italo disco, house and techno, to artists as diverse as Broadcast, Janet, Stereolab, Madonna, and the late George Michael - always with juicy chords and grooves up his sleeve. Vocally, you could argue that Pleasure (and not 2006's Duper Sessions) is Lerche's actual crooner-album, from the way he exudes a new vocal intensity and boldness, echoing suave, conflicted pop-crooners such as Bryan Ferry and Scott Walker.
