Career


Brandur Enni's musical career started early; he was singing on two albums in 1998 and 2000. He released his debut album [4]Waiting in the Moonlight in 2002, when he was 12 years old. Enni gained popularity in the Faroe Islands, Denmark and in Iceland, and later he became a well known name in Sweden and other countries, especially after participating in the Melodifestival 2008 in Sweden,[5] which is held every year in order to find the best candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest. Enni sang a ballad called "Lullaby"; he became number 7 at the semifinal and did not make it to the final round. It was Charlotte Perelli who won the Swedish contest and represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade in Serbia. Perrelli became number 18 with her song "Hero".[6]


Enni has performed at several of the summer festivals in the Faroe Islands: The Summer Festival (Summarfestivalurin) in Klaksvík,[7] The Asfalt Music Festival in Tórshavn[8] and the Midsummer Festival in Suðuroy (Jóansøkufestival).[9]


Enni has co-written with Swedish songwriters Julia Ericsson, Aleena Gibson, Karin Elisabeth Dreijer, Lasse Andersson, Benny Andersson, Anna Allerstedt, Maria Marcus and Evelina Satell.[8]


In December 2007, Enni signed a publishing deal with Air Chrysalis Scandinavia.[10] On 19 October 2009, he was the support act for Alexander Rybak, who won the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.[11]


Enni also worked with the record producer Timbaland, who runs a private studio in Virginia Beach, United States.[12]


In 2009 Enni sang the Swedish version of the theme song in Disney's High School Musical 3, "Right Here, Right Now"[13] with the Swedish singer Molly Sandén. The Swedish title of the song is "Just här, just nu". In 2009, Enni released a single, "Sometimes Truth Needs a Lie". It was produced by Lionheart International, which is one of the biggest record companies in Sweden (established in 1990), now a part of Universal Music family.[14]


In 2011, he released the single "The Illusion Of".[15]

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
