Kristian Sødal

Kristian Sødal is a tenor and a proud native of Kristiansand. In addition to his career as a freelance singer, he works as the head of the Animal Department at Kristiansand Zoo.

Musically, Kristian describes himself as an omnivore, and he has a unique ability to develop a deep love for whatever music he’s working on at any given time. Although he has no formal musical training, he often cites “Uncle Jan Sødal” as his most important mentor.

For Kristian, the sense of community is one of the best things about singing in a choir—both the social aspect and the musical one. He loves the feeling that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that together they create something no one could have achieved alone.

When he's not singing, he likes to work out—or drive a tractor.
