Career
When the "Silverboys" searched for new members in 2003, Eirik Gjen attended the audition. In August 2003, he began in the aspirant choir, and a few months later he attended the main choir as a first soprano. Gjen sang on Morten Harkets album Letter from Egypt, and he was also a soloist on an anniversary disc that was given as a gift to the artist Prince on the occasion of his 50-year day.
He participated on the Norwegian television show Norske Talenter (series 2), and made it to the semifinals, where he ended third place.
On 1 September 2010 Eirik Gjen released his first single "The Greatest". The music video was seen by over 125,000 within a few weeks on YouTube.
Five months later, 18 February 2011, his second single "Hello" was released.
