Yesterday we ordered one of those Lincoln luxury cars to drive us up to Hollywood. We had an appointment with fellow Norwegian, director Ray Kay, to have lunch and maybe get to know a little more about how life is in the capital of film and TV industry.
Ray Kay, for those who don't know him, is like us from the town Haugesund on the west coast of Norway.
Ray Kay mostly directs music videos and has worked with artists such as Cher, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Jessie J, Nelly Furtado, Beyoncé Knowles, Destiny's Child, Gloria Estefan, Steven Tyler, Enrique Iglesias, Adam Lambert, Cheryl Cole, Alesha Dixon, Diddy, Willow Smith, Amerie, Sean Paul, Christina Milian, The-Dream, Backstreet Boys, Melanie C, Ciara, Snoop Dogg and Ghostface. He also photographs fashion stills and album covers, and has directed commercials for brands such as Pepsi, AT&T, Mango and KFC.
We met Ray Kay near his home on the corner of Sunset Avenue and Vine to have lunch at a Tendergreens restaurant.
He told us he was in the editing stages of a new music video for country crossover artist Hunter Hayes shot in L.A. a week ago. Hayes premiered the song live on Grammy Awards Sunday.
Ray Kay is a busy man and agreeing to meet us for an hour was far more than we expected.
To get a quick spin around the block in his limited edition Lamborghini Nera simply made my day.
We're not talking about breaking speed limits or anything. In the highly trafficed Hollywood streets he just showed us the raw acceleration on this beautiful machine.
After our meeting with Ray, when we sat down at a bar nearby to have a quick drink, André got a text from the people working with the Jimmy Kimmel Live show on ABC.
It turned out we were welcome as audience for last nights show with guests actor Andy Garcia, famous chef Norman Van Aken and music from Broken Bells live from the Sony stage in Kimmels backlot.
We decided to jump on the train for a second time in a week and this time we finally managed to get our happy faces on television too.
