Norwegian pianist and composer Vetle Nærø grew up in the quiet coastal town of Ålesund. It is there that he first started studying piano with formal lessons from the age of nine. Over the years he honed his skills playing Chopin and Rachmaninoff and later discovered pioneering minimalists Philip Glass and Arvo Part while also starting a jazz trio side-project. Eventually, playing the music of others grew unsatisfying. Nærø wanted to express his own feelings more directly, so he composed his first piece aged 14 and released his first album aged 18. 2018's By Heart was a spontaneous project recorded in just one day. A second album, Introspection, followed in 2021 and was more composition based. Vetle now sees that record as a stepping stone, part of an ongoing learning and creative process that has ultimately led him to truly find his own voice, so what might be difficult for us to articulate in words, he can now express through his piano. Vetle Nærø's third album From Moments arrived in 2023. The 12-track record is his most personal work yet and an invitation to empty your mind and focus only on the present.
