#777Randi Tytingvåg
Randi Tytingvåg is a Norwegian singer and songwriter. She is known for her warm, clear, distinctive voice. It carries a dualistic mix; strong and fragile at the same time. She has a strong presence and an honest way of communicating with the audience. Her compositions and lyrics underline her talent for storytelling.
Her songs are a crossover between the different genres she herself has been influenced by: folk, jazz, roots, country and the singer/songwriter tradition. It can be described as a unique Norwegicana sound. Her main project is now Randi Tytingvåg Trio:
Randi Tytingvåg: vocals
Dag Vagle: guitar, vocals, backing vocals
Erlend E. Aasland: tenor guitar, banjo, mandolin, backing vocals
They are touring in Norway, Germany and Austria on a regular basis and have received great response on their albums and concerts. See more under Press.
As a student, Randi studied jazz singing under Lee Gibson and took composition classes with Michael Burnett. She finished her music studies at School of the Arts Roehampton in London in 2001. She made her debut as a jazz singer the same year at the Maijazz festival in Stavanger. In 2004 she was announced to be ”The artist of the year” in her hometown. In 2006 Randi made her debut as an actress at Rogaland Teater in the music drama Skyfri himmel, by Bjørn Eidsvåg and Olaug Nilssen.
In the fall of 2011 Randi worked in a new play at Rogaland Teater, MOR: Eg konne vel tenkt meg å gå heile Den kinesiske mur, written by Rønnaug Kleiva. The play also starred the wonderful actress Sally Nilsson. It was based on songs from the albums Let Go and RED.
She has released seven albums and two eps.

Randi Tytingvåg / Red
Accompanied by a seasoned band of musicians that Randi has been working with for some time now, „Red“ has become a work of sophisticated and airy-light sound worlds reminiscent of the great tradition of American jazz singers, tying in tango’s syncopated rhythms with their unpretentious elegance. Randi Tytingvåg celebrates her songs with a clear, irresistably sensitive voice that tells of burning love ('Red Or Dead'), the importance of holding on to your hopes and dreams ('Quiet Noise'), or the desire to fly to the moon and conquer the universe with your lover ('A Trip To The Moon'). The Norwegian adds her version of Cole Porter’s classic 'My Heart Belongs To Daddy' to her ten self-penned compositions, a lovely contrast to Marilyn Monroe’s lascivious interpretation.
The musical wonderland of Norway has a new voice - one that sails to the far reaches of the universe.
'Even when they’re not covering standards, many Nordic singers still sound standard today. Not so Randi Tytingvåg from Stavanger. Just the way she wrenches a heartfelt Marilyn Monroe out of Cole Porter’s classic 'My Heart Belongs To Daddy', Chapeau! It sounds like Tom Waits stranded in Maghreb. And in her own compositions this amazing lady creates an irritatingly imposing mix of jazz, folk, cabaret, ballad, tango and ambient.'
