<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The soulful, multi-instrumental singer-songwriter first wowed audiences with his ability to loop live on stage. With each song the one-man-band-sensation layers together various parts; first singing
the chorus, matched with beat boxing, to then looping in heavy-weighted guitar riffs, and piano chords, all of which are topped off with his powerful back-up and lead vocals. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">As a childhood performer for the Norwegian Opera and a trained classical artist, his incredible live performances have helped Bernhoft to sell over 250,000 copies of his current, critically lauded
album <b><i>Solidarity Breaks</i></b>. He also nabbed the prestigious awards for
<b>Best Artist</b> and <b>Best Male Artist of the Year</b> at the <b>2012 Spellemannprisen</b>, which are the equivalent to the<b> GRAMMYs</b> in Norway.
