==Biography==
Ola Gjeilo (YAY-lo) was born on May 5, 1978. The son of Inge Gjeilo and Anne-May Gjeilo, he began playing piano and composing when he was five years old growing up in the town of Skui, Norway. Always relying on his instinctive ability to hear music, he finally learned to read music when he was seven years old. Ola always knew he wanted to be a composer from a very young age. While in high school, Ola was a very good pianist and took composition lessons with Wolfgang Plagge. In his undergraduate career, Gjeilo studied at the Norwegian Academy of Music (1999-2001), transferred to the Juilliard School (2001), and studied at the Royal College of Music in London (2002-2004) to receive a bachelor's degree in composition.〔Singers.com, “Ola Gjeilo,” United Singers International: CGI Copyright, 2014, accessed September 30, 2014, http://www.singers.com/composers/Ola-Gjeilo/.〕 He continued his education at Juilliard (2004-2006) where he received his master's degree in 2006, also in composition. Gjeilo currently resides in New York where he has permanently resided from 2006–present. He married Laura Inman in 2012, and currently resides in Manhattan working as a freelancing composer.
