Admiral P is born in Zambia, and this is where he spent his first 13 years.
With a Norwegian father and mother from Zambia, he has had a unique upbringing and journey through life. First as a white African/Norwegian, growing up in Zambia and later moving to Norway where he looked Norwegian, but certainly did not feel like it. His dad passed right after they moved to Norway and Admiral´s first years in Norway was full of problems adapting to a new country and youth rebellion. Music was a big part of Admiral´s life and through his mothers reggae records, he was inspired. When he met Daniel Lion a little bit later, that was it! Together they started the soundsystem Jah Ark Manifest with Jah-Tea (1999), and the rest is history! They have been spreading reggae-music ever since.
Admiral has a rare talent, and have put his unique signature on a genre that has grown to become a huge part of Norway´s popular culture. He won a Norwegian Grammy (Spellemann) for “Engel” in 2015.
