Silje Nergaard

Silje Nergaard (born June 19, 1966 in Steinkjer, Norway), is a Norwegian pop and jazz musician.

While some of her old titles (e. g. "Si det, si det" from 1985) rather have a distinct pop feel, she has now almost completely given up making pop music, which is the reason why virtually the entirety of her later releases consists of jazzy tunes. With her debut album produced by the jazz guitar maestro Pat Metheny, Silje is one of very few Norwegian artists to have been commercially released all around the globe, on most continent and major music markets -- including Brazil, Germany, U.S. and the United Kingdom -- and doing so with great success and phenomenal feedback.
