Borge Brings International Flair to Country Music Format with Unique Blend of Country and Rock
(Nashville, Tenn – Oct. 23, 2020) Norway born and bred Country singer-songwriter Daniel Borge has released his debut stateside single, titled “Room 208,” available here. Borge is among a growing group of international artists whose dreams lie in Country Music and are pursuing their careers stateside.
Produced by Grammy award-winning producer Brad Hill (Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Brett Young), “Room 208” tells the story of one sitting in a hotel room (Room 208) while considering the different paths that are possible in life, one involving the Bible and the other involving whiskey. While reflecting on his current situation, the narrator also realizes that he is surrounded by fellow hotel guests that all have their own unique life stories, some similar and others completely different from his own. The new track offers a haunting melody with both country and rock influences. Borge felt inspired to write the song after spending the night in a hotel on a trip to Nashville.
Borge comments, “I wrote ‘Room 208’ after staying at a hotel in Nashville. After a studio session, I was back at the hotel late one night. When I entered the hotel, I met a guy that was also staying at the hotel. You could see he hadn’t had an easy life. As I talked to him, he told me about his life story, which inspired me to write it. It made me think that while the hotel rooms are the same, so many different people stay there. Some of them successful, and some of them haven’t been as fortunate.”
Borge’s new single comes on the heels of his recent streaming success. The independent artist garnered over 150,000 total streams on Spotify with previous releases.
Daniel Borge got his start in Nashville when he was pulled onstage to perform at Legends Corner on Broadway during CMA Fest 2019. After being approached by a songwriter and producer, Borge launched his recording career. He is currently working with some of the best names in Nashville’s music industry, including producer and songwriter Davis Branch (Sean Stemaly, Jordan Rowe, Ryan Robinette) and producer Brad Hill (Brett Young, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne). Over the last year, the singer had the pleasure to work with Blake Shelton’s touring musicians and also performed with the American country gospel band, The Isaacs. His recent projects and style of music have helped bring modern country music to Europe.
Additionally, his experience writing and performing in Norway has allowed him to stand out from other Nashville acts. Borge has rapidly grown his fanbase in both Europe and the U.S. and plans to move to the U.S. The future is bright for this promising new artist. Borge’s energy, a strong sense of identity, and his solid, controlled voice leave a lasting impression.
