In just a few years, Kjartan Lauritzen from Balestrand has made a name for himself as one of Norway's most distinctive rap artists. Without a major label behind him, he first made a name for himself with songs such as "Havanna", “Fredag” and "Nyte D", before joining Warner Music in 2021 and releasing his debut album Kjartanisme to great acclaim from both critics and fans.
The album introduced songs such as ‘Million’ and "TADA", and since then Lauritzen has continued to release popular singles such as "Gira", “Shakira”, "Skaol Skadle" and the summer hit "Badebussen". At Kaiscenen during Sildajazz, the audience can experience the energetic rap artist live.
