Christian recently embarked on his solo career, and already he's reached the number one spot twice in his home country, Norway. "In love with an angel", written by Christian and sung as a duet with Norwegian singer Maria Arredondo, became his first number one hit without a1. Just a few months later, Things are gonna change went straight in to the number one spot, too, proving that Christian definitely isn't a "one-hit-wonder"! Born in 1977, Christian grew up in Siggerud outside Oslo, Norway. His father, Stein Ingebrigtsen, was one of Norway's most successful artists during the 70's, and sold more than one million records in Scandinavia and Europe.

Naturally, music became an important part of Christian's life. He went on his very first tour at the age of three! Although he spent most of his time just looking out from behind the drum-kit that year, soon he would develop his talents for playing and performing. He started taking violin lessons at the age of six, then went on to piano and guitar, and chose to study music and drama in high school. Soon he would play piano concerts in churches and for various functions in his local area. ...show less
