Artist Oyvind Sauvik (46) is better known by the name of “Vinni”. He made it big with duo “Paperboys” in the late 90s, before going solo a few years later.
– Brutal way of life
During his long career as an artist, Sauvik has achieved great success and received a lot of attention. By the way, she was in the very first Norwegian season of “Every time we meet».
Recently, the artist was a guest on the podcast «Chat with Helle», led by Helle Nordby. Here she opens up about how she really felt when she was in the program.
Initially, Sauvik says he’s “skeptical of the whole thing” and hasn’t watched the Swedish season of the TV show. So he didn’t know what he was doing.

Therefore he accepted

However, the result of the program was that the 46-year-old won the hearts of the Norwegian population, among other things, with his rendition of Halvdan Sivertsen’s “Sommerfuggel i vinterland” in 2012.
The whole program at “half full”

It is stated in the book that Sauvik was ‘good at drinking’ at the time and that he ‘went through the whole’ Every time we meet ‘half drunk’ Nordby reads.
– He shook for me
The artist himself admits that he had a drinking problem at the time. Furthermore, he says he believes consumption is rooted in something other than what he was thinking about at the time.
– I thought “I don’t need to drink, I don’t think alcohol tastes that good”. That’s not it. It probably boils down to the fact that I wasn’t able to feel comfortable in social settings without being influenced, he says and elaborates:
– I work quite well one-on-one, but I’m not very good in groups. I feel like then you have to become something else, so I struggle with that – I’ve always struggled with that. And it’s pretty clear that I needed to be influenced to be calm and able to function in those contexts. So yeah, I realize I have a drinking problem.
Such was his great transformation
Not long after, he took action, realizing he had to learn to function in the world unaffected all the time.

Cryptic about Tix’s appearances
– Live off external confirmations and put your value in the hands of others. It’s a very scary thing and almost impossible to avoid. But it’s so funny then, when, for example, you have success with a song that works, then it’s so easy to feel fresh and on top of the list and everyone appreciates me, she said then.
Today Sauvik works as a songwriter in the team of his manager Gunnar Greve and the Dane Kasper Vester. He has so far helped write several hit songs in collaboration with other artists.
