In the years between 2013–2015 Kristian worked on writing and composing his own music, and i 2015 he made it through to the final round of NRK P3s "Urørt" with the song «Lyset».

Since his signing with the major label, he released a number of singles before the release of his debut EP in 2015. The EP «Før Det Blir For Seint» consists of 6 tracks, which are all written and performed in his hometown accent, with the exception of «Nella Fantasia».
