Magnet: Biography, Facts and Career

Even Johansen, also known as Magnet (born 7 June 1970), is a Norwegian singer-songwriter. Johansen started his music career in the early 1990s in the bands Chocolate Overdose and Libidō before forging a solo career under the Magnet alias. To date, he has released five full-length solo studio albums as well as several singles and EPs. Johansen draws upon many influences, including folk, pop, and electronica. His albums are composed and produced solely by him, and he usually performs live sets on his own, using preset loops or creating them as he plays. Several of Magnet’s songs have appeared in television series and films, including "Where Happiness Lives" in Roswell, One Tree Hill, and Everwood; "Lay Lady Lay" in Mr. & Mrs. Smith; "Let It Snow" in The O.C., and "Little Miss More or Less" in Six Feet Under. The name 'Magnet' comes from his own childhood cure for anaemia involving a homeopathic, magnetic tattoo.
