Metteson

"You look to a star for hope. You look to a star and feel insignificant. You look to a star to remember your loved ones and past loves. You look to a star and you are blinded" -Mettesons debut album Look To A Star has finally arrived. Metteson's theatrical background has given him innumerable tools to draw from with his growing confidence as a songwriter. Born and raised in Moss, a small coastal town 30 miles south of Oslo, Metteson studied acting at Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Some inspiring stage roles followed, but he found that acting gave him less space as an artist than he craved. "I got tired of speaking other people's words and singing other people's songs," he says. Starting songwriting whilst acting, Metteson's shimmering, emotionally literate music, described as kaleidoscopic pop (Guardian) and a gorgeous synth-pop symphony of devotion (i-D), caught the attention of Christine & The Queens last summer, when he was invited to play at her Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre. Known for his electrifying live shows, a blend of pop star dynamism and theatrical grandeur, Metteson packed 2,000 fans into his Oslo hometown show in 2022, and has already sold out Sentrum Scene on 16 March 2024.
