Recently, Kjartan and his girlfriend Inger welcomed the birth of their first child, a boy that they named Hugo.

Currently, Kjartan is working on breaking through in the North American music industry. He has new original songs on his myspace site. It is hard to imagine why anyone would even think of buying his coming single, and it's doubtful - to say the very least - that it will result in any kind of break through. Though, stranger things have happened. Horrible people do exist, and some of them even buy music.
