Philip Larsson is an artist, songwriter, singer, producer and photographer living in Stockholm, Sweden. He grew up in Karlstad, Värmland.

After school, he hitchhiked his way through Europe, eventually making his way to Berlin where he honed his craft as a songwriter and performer, playing his way up from the streets and cafés to large stages in the German capital.

He settled on the name Monte Nour (which means something along the lines of “mountain of light”) which to him symbolized the world in which his music was created and caught.

Under the Monte Nour moniker he released several EP’s and singles over a ten year period between 2013-2023.

He is also a photographer, using mostly an analog Minolta camera.
