"My name is Norman Palm. I grew up in a small town in the north where I learned how to sing and play instruments when I was little. When I finished highschool my family decided to send me to artschool because I was so good at painting and drawing. I wanted to become a lawyer but I followed their advice and went to Berlin. Artschools are relaxed places, so I had enough time to write more songs and play music. Eventually I moved to Paris, where I found out that there was a little microphone inside my laptop which worked perfectly to record my songs. When I came back to Berlin I had a lot of songs recorded and a lot of pictures in my head. I wanted to share these pictures with the listeners of my songs, so I designed a little book which goes along with my record. Every song is illustrated in one chapter. On stage I felt that people were staring at me a bit too much, so I set up a projection and let the pages of the book flip while I performed the songs live. In Berlin people were clapping a lot, so I was encouraged to take my show to other cities and other countries where people seemed to like it, too.I was invited to play at art galleries and cultural festivals, took cool pictures of myself, sold a song to MTV and even gave interviews talking about my work. Radio stations started to play my songs.My first real record then was called “Boys and Girls”: They were cover versions of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Boys Don’t Cry”. People especially liked the cover of the record, and the songs Isometimes hear playing in cosy coffee places. The next single was called Falling. It was requested to be used in an ice cream commercial, but it never happened in the end.In the meanwhile the album I had been working on was finally published by a small label called Ratio Records in which I am also involved myself. It came out as a book-cd combination: 12 songs and 200 pages. We printed 1000 copies, each of them numbered. These copies we gone pretty quickly."
