Miriam – In Fusion

In Fusion will participate in the final of the 2017 Melodi Grand Prix in Norway with the song Nothing Ever Knocked Us Over. In the final of our short interviews with the band we speak to Miriam –

Hello Miriam.  Have you participated in any music festivals or TV competitions in Norway or abroad? If so, can you tell us about them?

I’ve fronted and toured with different rock bands before. Like for example TINDRUM, wich I fronted in 2015. We played at several Norwegian festivals that year, and it was wild!! Kee Marcello (EUROPE) joined us on parts of the tour, wich was amazing! Dag Ingebrigtsen(TheKids/TNT/Tindrum) also came along for parts of the tour. Morten “Dielsel” Dahl(TNT/Tindrum), Tore Moren(JORN) and Sid Ringsby(Tindrum/JORN), made the rest of the band. And we really had a blast that year!-The largest festival I’ve played would have to be “Midnattsrocken” in beautiful Lakselv. -Finnsnes i Fest-Fæsterålen-Storlien Rockweekend-I headlined at “OktoberRock” 2015-and opened for Stage Dolls at “Rorburock”. I also toured parts of Norway for a short while, opening for W.A.S.P (USA) that same year!

If you could cover any song what would it be?

I would love to cover ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen at some point! The song of all songs! But it would be terrifying to take on such a huge song.. so maybe not, haha! But I’d love to do my own spin on for example Me & Bobby McGee! I love that song! Janis Joplin, Kris Kristofferson and P!nk all have amazing versions, and I’d love to have one of my own!

Which artist (alive or dead) would be a dream duet for you?

If I could pick anyone to do a duet with it would have to be Jessie J! Hands down! I often feel like I should say something cliché, like some amazing legend who’s not with us anymore. I mean, I’m a huge Sinatra-fan!
But fact is, my idol and favorite artist of all times is Jessica Ellen Cornish(Jessie J)! I even have a tattoo of her on my arm! She has such an awesome vocal-control, stage-presence and range!

Thank you, Miriam. Lots of good luck with In Fusion in the MGP final.

2. If you could cover any song what would it be?

I would cover Sia’s ‘Elastic Heart’. Or Jessie J’s ‘Mama Knows Best’ ooor ‘Bang Bang’. Mainly cause I like the challenge!! haha

3.  Which artist (alive or dead) would be a dream duet for you?

Missy Elliott!! I’d love to do a collab with her and make a sick tune with a badass beat. After that I  could die happily. 

Thank you, Nina! Good luck in the MGP final!

NOTHING EVER KNOCKED US OVER

Here are the lyrics to Nothing Ever Knocked Us Over which will be performed by In Fusion in the Norwegian selection in March.

 

(Music&Lyrics: N. Arn, G. Eurén, D. Attlerud, K. Eurén, C. Kallin)

Stay forever young
Like a hero in a faded fantasy
Together on the run
We were living on the edge of gravity
We opened every door
Till the dream we always had was in our hands
And If we had a doubt
It was buried in a cave in Nowhereland

‘Cause we were young, and had the power
Nothing ever knocked us over
No nothing ever knocked us over
Just pick a goal and we would go there

‘Cause we were tight and strong together
Nothing ever knocked us over
No nothing ever knocked us over
We were the ones who’ll live forever

Looking at the moon
And eventually we knew we’d take it down
Explorin’ every sin
After seven we just headed way beyond

‘Cause we were young, and had the power
Nothing ever knocked us over
No nothing ever knocked us over
Just pick a goal and we would go there

‘Cause we were tight and strong together
Nothing ever knocked us over
No nothing ever knocked us over
We were the ones who’ll live forever

Like a hero in a faded fantasy
Oh oh oh we were living on the edge of gravity
We were the ones
Nothing ever knocked us over
Nothing ever knocked us over

‘Cause we were young, and had the power
Nothing ever knocked us over
No nothing ever knocked us over
Just pick a goal and we would go there

‘Cause we were tight and strong together
Nothing ever knocked us over
No nothing ever knocked us over
We were the ones who’ll live forever

In Fusion will sing Nothing Ever Knocked US Over in Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix 2017

In Fusion (Nina/Saima/Miriam) is a true mix of musical genres, cultures and personalities, melted down to yet another genre starting out in Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix 2017 with the entry Nothing Ever Knocked Us Over. Together with some well recognized producers and composers, Nina, Saima and Miriam have formed a song about the moments in life when you are truly invincible, when you’re exactly in that moment, happy and strong, and your possibilities are endless.
-We want the experience of the song to be like dancing in unity with everybody at a music festival…..last weekend, last summer or 50 years ago, a feeling we believe that people in all ages can relate to.

The members are:

Nina Grødahl was born in Trondheim but raised in both Oslo and Trondheim. As very young Nina knew that she was going to make music. As a teenager she spent a lot of time at the cultural centre ISAK where she danced in her own hiphop dance crew and recorded songs in the studios there. Later on, she studied music at The Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts, better known as The Paul McCartney School, where she worked on songwriting as well as singing and performing.  With a great passion for visual concepts and dance Nina also made several music videos during her time in Liverpool. She has let herself be inspired by artists like Missy Elliot, Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill and Alicia Keys.

Saima-Iren Mian was born and raised in Buvika, a small rural town outside Trondheim, by her Norwegian mother and Pakistani father. Already at a very early age, Saima got into music, dance and acting. Later she was a member of the group Irresistible and reached the final round in X-Factor 2010 and also attended one of the partfinals in Melodi Grand Prix 2012 with the song Elevator feat. Carl Prit. Today Saima is a solo artist, writing songs to herself and others, but now also a member of In Fusion. She gets her inspiration from timeless music as Motown, Big Band and R&B. At home Saima also is the vocalist in the local Big Band.
Miriam LaBreche was born and raised in Trondheim by her Norwegian mother and Arabic father. Norwegian media describes her as one of the best female rock vocals in Norway, as the lead singer in different rock bands, performing on numerous festivals with well known musicians as Kee Marcello (Europe) and as a supporting act to WASP. In 2017 Miriam has started out her solo career on the side of being a member of In Fusion. Earlier Miriam also performed singing soul, R&B, jazz, opera, blues and disco.
