Early life

Minde was born in Oslo, Norway, and raised in Frekhaug north of Bergen. She began playing the piano at home in Frekhaug when she was five years old.

Career

Minde was a member of the vocal group "Nardus" performing in the NRK program "Absolutt norsk" (Absolutely Norwegian) in 2002 and 2003, with Rune Larsen as a program host, and the six girls appeared as soloists and choir. Nardus released in the disc Uncovered in 2002.[1]

After having released her debut solo album Six Feet Over (2011), the music was defined as "melodic, maximalist musical pop". This seems like an apt description also for her second album, The Weight (2013). It is largely magnificent and somewhat bombastic pop music, which Minde communicates with strong empathy and good tune flair. Her band comprises Jonas Kilmork Vemøy, Erlend Peter Valkvæ, Jo-Martin Grosås Nordbø, and Håkon Sagen.[2]

In 2018, she released her first album in Norwegian Hjerteslag.

gollark: No, there are other ideas.
gollark: There are a bunch of geoengineering-y ideas proposed to hopefully somewhat unbreak things, but those are apparently thought of as more of a last resort.
gollark: Many of the things we could do to reduce/mitigate climate change need lots of energy input, and nuclear is the obvious way to get that, but nooooooo...
gollark: Nuclear power plants put LESS radioactive stuff into the air than coal ones.
gollark: I mostly just blame people for being idiotic and going "nuclear! But I don't want to start glowing green!!!!!".
