Espen Lind

A Spellemannprisen-winning Norwegian pop artist who dazzled his homeland with his second album, 1997's Red, Espen Lind also found success in the United States as a co-writer behind singles like Beyoncé's 2007 smash hit "Irreplaceable." Lind broke into the Norwegian pop scene in 1995 performing under the name Sway. His debut album, Mmm...Prepare to Be Swayed, sold poorly but garnered rave reviews, which was enough to earn Lind a recording deal with Universal. Billing himself under his given name, Lind issued a successful string of albums through the late 2000s and continued writing and producing songs for other artists. ~ TiVo Staff
