Lillebjørn has been singing since the sixties. His debut record "Tilbake," which came out in 1971, was closely followed by others, like pearls on a string. Throughout the years and decades, Lillebjørn has received prestigious prizes and been honoured for outstanding contributions as a performing artist. In 1995, he received Denmark's first folk music prize. And in 2005 his own home town presented him The Oslo City Cultural Prize. During his career, Lillebjørn has published several books combining guitar and song.
