Arne Benoni was born in Northwestern Norway in Napp, a small fishing village in Flakstad municipality in Lofoten, in the Land of the Midnight Sun. After a couple of albums recorded in Norway, Arne traveled to Nashville, TN, the home of Country Music, to record a string of albums produced by his friend, Leo Jackson, Jim Reeves’ guitar player. Arne has played the Wembley Country Music Festival in the famous Wembley Arena in London, England. He became an International Country Music artist when he was invited to perform in Nashville for the International Marketplace of Festivals (IMoF) in front of 120,000 people, where he was awarded the Distant Accords Award. He was invited to perform on The Grand Ole Opry and was introduced by Skeeter Davis. The popular Norwegian Country singer has had hit songs in Norway, the US, Denmark, and many other countries. He charted songs in the US in Billboard and Cashbox and appeared on The Grand Old Opry and American television. Arne has appeared with Lynn Anderson, Dottie West, and many of Nashville’s top Country singers. Arne still loves his roots in Lofoten but now lives in Southern Norway, in Sandefjord, where he has a recording studio to record himself and to produce new and established Norwegian talent.
