The mysterious 18-year-old Kristin Husøy from Trondheim (Norway) became 2nd in the 60th edition of ‘Melodi Grand Prix 2020’ (MGP) in Norway, the pre-show of world’s biggest songwriting contest Eurovision with no social media promotion or extra PR extra push. 1 million people, out of a population of 5 million, were watching her battles, leaving 28 participants behind her and gain an impressive #2 spot with song “Pray For Me” on February 15.

This song was her very first recording ever and today she has over 1 million streams on Spotify.

For 3 weeks she’s been #1 on Spotify Viral Norway, #23 on Top 50 Norway and #29 on Shazam Norway and #3 with the acoustic version.

As Kristin’s first success and TOUKAN RECORDS’ 2nd release only, the label challenged Norwegian DJ producers to remix “Pray For Me” for single release and organised a DJ remix competition. Because of the high number of submitted remixes the label decided to drop an REMIX EP with 7 remixes which will be released one by one the week before the REMIX EP drops. All singles will battle against each other for 10 days encouraging fans to support their favorite remix. On May 3 the final winner will be announced.
