About Arnold Børud

Born 1947. Arnold Børud is a Norwegian singer, composer and record producer.

Arnold Børud (born 28 October 1947) is a Norwegian singer, musician and record producer.

Biography He grew up in Askim Municipality and has been a devout Christian since the age of 18, when a friend invited him to a Christian camp. Only two years later, he had learned the guitar and piano and released his first record as a part of the duo Arild og Arnold. In 1973, he started two gospel choirs, Tvers and Mini-Tvers. With these choirs Børud became a pioneer in introducing gospel music to Norwegian Pietist congregations. He has thus been called "Mr. Gospel" in Norway.

He had already, in 1972, formed the gospel group Frisk Luft together with Rune Larsen, Ivar Skippervold and Kjell Fjalsett. The group formed by coincidence when Larsen and Børud, performing at Hedmarktoppen, spotted the already-known Fjalsett and Skippervold in the audience and invited them onto the stage. Members of Tvers contributed on their first LP. Frisk Luft was said to be the first Christian supergroup in Norway. Besides his music career, Børud works for Normisjon at the Grimstad Bible School in Grimstad Municipality.

Arnold's wife, Anne Marie Børud died on 19 June 2025, at the age of 76.
