Christopher's rise to fame came seemingly out of nowhere but behind the scenes, management and label were pulling the strings while Christopher embraced and learned everything he could about the culture.

In this week's Morning Coffee with the Nordics Tomas Jernberg (Christophers Manager) and Jan-Erik Stig (A&R Director, Warner Denmark) takes us through their South-East Asia journey with Christopher. We will learn how it started, how it's going, and how they continue to work with the local industry to maintain the success to this day. We will also hear direct advice on how to collaborate with local industry in South-East Asia, how to prepare artists for seemingly weird press opportunities in China and how to maintain So-Me tackling language barriers.

It's a unique case and a true nordic one with cooperation across nordic borders. It's also a story of how the Major label system can create world-wide success for local artists. This Morning Coffee is only available live and will not be recorded so make sure you tune in.
