3-11 Porter is a Norwegian group formed in 2000.
3-11 Porter has broken free from the traditional pop sound and added their own spice to music, with their mix of pop, rock, jazz, Latin and electronica, combined with their cinematic approach to the lyrics and the arrangements. All of these elements define 3-11 Porter's sound.
Singer and songwriter Per Arne Bertheussen made a demo of a song in 1997. Edge Records released a very limited pressing of 200 copies under the band name: "Porter" and the song "I Can’t Forget The Girl I Never Met" on purple vinyl.
In 2000, Per Arne Bertheussen met Svein Hansen [1] and a whole new era began. Per Arne and Svein were joined by Tracee Meyn, a Norway-based American singer, and the trio subsequently recorded a total of 20 songs in the next two months, with Per Arne writing and Svein arranging the music. Some of these recordings were later featured on their debut album Nurse Me. Per Arne, Svein and Tracee have varying musical backgrounds. While Per Arne's influences are strongly from Electronica and new wave genres, Svein, a musician, producer and skilled composer has classical, jazz and international folk music influences and Tracee's background is gospel and soul.
3–11 Porter was signed by Nordic Records following a concert at Oslo's Café Mono in 2003, the signing led to the international release of Nurse Me.
