Bjørn is a guitarist, vocalist, composer and producer from Oslo. A prominent and highly respected musician who helped shape Norwegian rock in the 70s.

After Aunt Mary, Christiansen played with the George Keller Band and Alex, before making his debut as a solo artist in 1979. He made two records under his own name, both with American-inspired fusion rock, with strong elements from both jazz, funk and blues. On "BC" (1979), Christiansen was accompanied by Brynjulf Blix (keyboards, from the Alex band), Matz Nilsson (bass) and Niels Nordin (drums), and from this record "Champagne Lady" was released as a single.
