Biography
Tor Endresen was born in Bergen in 1959. He has come second or third five times out of his eight entries in Eurovision Norwegian semi-finals - this is his first year to represent his country in Eurovision itself. Tor got his first guitar at 13, and at 18 joined a local band. He met Arne Myksvol when he was singing with the dance band Salex. Tor has released 10 albums and is one of Norway's top performers.
Arne Myksvol was born in 1955. He is a hairdresser with his own salon, and a self-educated musician who has played the guitar since the age of seven. He was a drummer in his school band, and served in the Bergen Corps of Archers. Last year he founded the group Salex, where he met co-composer Tor Endresen with whom he has composed several tracks.
