Biography

The Monroes were one of the biggest Norwegian pop successes in the 1980s. "Sunday People" and "Cheerio" were number one at VG-lista for a long period of time and they are still heard on the radio, 30 years after the album was released. In 1983 The Monroes received an award for the best pop album and were named the musicians of the year during the Spellemannprisen. After retiring as a pop musician, Fosheim worked from 1995 to 2008 as promo director at Universal Music (former PolyGram). Later he worked as artist and concert coordinator, including as manager for the artist Jahn Teigen.

Prior to the Monroes, he was a member of the band Broadway News.
