One 2 Many was a Norwegian band consisting of Dag Kolsrud (keyboards), Camilla Griehsel (vocals) and Jan Gisle Ytterdal (guitar).
They released their first and only album Mirror on A&M Records in 1988. The Scandinavian pop track "Downtown", was an immediate success all over Europe, reaching #1 in Norway.[1] In the US, the song reached #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1989. Three further singles were released, but while promotion was still underway, the band had already split, solidifying their one-hit wonder status.
Kolsrud went on to join the band Guys in Disguise, after which he pursued a solo career. He later became a-ha's world tour musical director. Griehsel met UK singer Colin Vearncombe from the band Black and married him in 1990.
