At the age of 7, Ørjan got his first keyboard, and started to practice on it every single day for the next couple of years, but started to think this little keyboard lacked what he was looking for... And then it began...
Melodies and rhythm were increasingly becoming a more important part of Ørjan's life as he was reaching for the teen years. And one style in particular caught his attention more then anything else... TRANCE After listening to various Trance compilations from Holland, he now started to be more and more mesmerized by this unique sound which merged beautiful melodies and rhythmic patterns so beautifully. Ørjan wanted to make this as well, but with the lack of funds and the knowledge how to, stopped him from it for a couple of years.
At the age of 16, Ørjan got his first very own synthesizer, with onboard sequencer and drum machine, and from now on, things were evolving quite rapidly.
He learned how to set up drums, basslines, melodies, strings and chords on his synth and then also how making music really worked.
After a year, he learned how making music on a pc worked, and what magic that was contained in a small grey box...
Evolving in his productions year after year, Ørjan now decided to take things a step further and bought more equipment to make his tunes reach another level
At the end of 2004, Ørjan had made several unofficial remixes and a couple of own productions, that got the attention of trance minded people in the trance.nu community. His tunes were now played in radio stations and clubs all over the world, but nothing was, as of yet, signed by any label. It was in the summer of 2005 things started to take a new turn, when his remix of 'Virunga - Simbabwe (Dj Governor's Progmix)' was played on Playground by Danjo & Styles and then a bit later Yanave on his show
'Retinal Insight'! People now started to show more and more interest in the works of Ørjan, wondering on 'who is this guy?'
This gave Ørjan more and more confidence, and gave him inspiration to keep working on his own tunes! Then, in September 2005, Ørjan made 'Red Woods', which blew away the minds of his friends and fellow producers, and now, finally, it seemed like Ørjans breakthrough, and indeed it was...
Since then Orjan has released a big amount of dancefloor smartbombs like f.ex Arctic Globe which went straight into the number one spot at the Dutch Dance Charts. His tunes are played all over the world both live and broadcasted by the worlds biggest DJs such as Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten
and so on and so on.
Orjan is currently taking gigs all over the world and his music career is developing rapidly, all though the DJ Governor moniker is at rest.
So keep an eye out, cause wherever you are in the world, the sounds of this young Norwegian DJ and producer will not escape you, and quite frankly, would you want it to..?

Orjan Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you can have me
You might not even have to try that hard
If you feel like I feel
I know we play it safe
But this way my heart won't break
Don't need to know your name
When you hold
Me like you do
End for now it is enough
Just hold
Me like you do
End it feels right
Just for one night
Only you end me in the bed lights
Yea it almost feels like love
When you hold
Me like you do
(Like you do)
I Know it don't read like textbook love
But it's what I need
Maybe not the kind you're dreaming of
But it can not hurt me
This might be playing safe
But i just want you to stay
Don't need to know your name
But it feels like were in love
When you hold
Me like you do
End for now it is enough
Just hold
Me like you do
End it feels right
Just for one night
Only you end me in the bed lights
Yea it almost feels like love
When you hold
Me like you do
(Like you do)
Like you do
But it feels like were in love
When you hold

Just for one night
Only you end me in the bed lights
Yea it almost feels like love
When you hold
Me like you do

The lyrics to Orjan Nilsen's song "Don't Need To Know Your Name" depict a casual, no-strings-attached relationship. The first few lines suggest that the singer is offering themselves to someone without the need for that person to meet any specific requirements or work hard for their affection. The phrase "I know we play it safe" could refer to the singer's intention to not get attached and to keep things simple and easygoing. The repeated line "Don't need to know your name" supports the idea that the singer isn't concerned about getting to know this person on a deep or personal level; they're focused on the physical connection they share at the moment.
The main theme of the song is expressed in the chorus. The singer says that they feel like they're in love when the person they're with holds them, and that this feeling is "enough for now." The words "it almost feels like love" imply that the connection is not quite true love, but something that approximations it. The verses reinforce that this relationship is not the traditional kind of love that most people would desire, but is instead the type of casual relationship that is okay with no commitment or deeper expectations.
