Guro is from Oslo and started playing the Hardanger fiddle when she was seven years old.

Her love of fiddle music extends across the border of Norway to encompass the rich fiddle tradition of Sweden also. Since graduating from the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, Sweden, Guro has worked as a freelance musician with a variety of different constellations in Sweden and Norway. Her band GKN5 released their debut album “Bestastove” in 2018 and since then, despite Corona, they have stayed busy with performances in Scandinavia.
