A unique singer influenced by folk, jazz and the singer-songwriter tradition.

From Stavanger, a coastal city in the southwest of Norway. 

Randi is known for her warm, 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 her audience. Her songwriting is a natural continuation of this. Together with the great musicians Dag Vagle and Erlend E. Aasland, she has formed Randi Tytingvåg Trio. They have found their own, very calm flow, celebrating the sound of voices and strings. They perform around one mic; in the oldfashioned, heartfelt way! No backline or monitors needed. They stand out as a unique little chamber orchestra with a wide dynamic range.

The poet Helge Torvund is also an important part of this soundscape. Helge and Randi’s collaboration on lyrics is a truly inspiring and genuine flow. Together they have found a common ground based on their wish that the light shall shine through their work. They first worked together on the album The Light You Need Exists (2019) and then started collaborating on her first Norwegian songs. The album, Trøsteviser for redde netter (Comforting Songs for Fearful Nights), was released in the fall of 2021. And now the new album Hjem (Home) has just been released.

Randi Tytingvåg Trio has been touring in Norway, Germany and Austria on a regular basis for many years. They have received great response to their albums and concerts. Click here for reviews.

As a student, Randi studied jazz singing with Lee Gibson and composition 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 in the musical drama Skyfri himmel (Olaug Nilssen/Bjørn Eidsvåg) in Rogaland Theatre.  In the fall of 2011 Randi worked in a new play at the same theatre, MOR: Eg konne vel tenkt meg å gå heile Den kinesiske mur (Rønnaug Kleiva/Randi Tytingvåg). This time it was based on her own compositions.

She has released nine albums and two eps.
