Author • Songwriter • Creator

Author and songwriter from Jæren, Norway

I write children's books, fantasy stories and music. Many of my projects start with an idea, a feeling or a small moment that grows into a song lyric, a story or an entire universe.

My books and universes are collected under the author name Andreas Sautter Espenes. The fully human-created songs are published as Andreas Espenes, while the songs I write where the instrumental and vocals are AI-generated are published as SELAI.
