The Norwegian pop group Minor Majority was formed by Pål Angelskår and Andreas Berczelly as a studio project in 2000.
In November 2001, the band saw the addition of guitarist Jon Arild Stieng and the trio went on tour for the first time in the spring of 2002.
The band's next album, If I Told You, You Were Beautiful, was recorded in Stieng's house in Oslo that same summer, and was released in October.
The group was complete, and in the late summer, Up for You & I was recorded at Sommerstad's cabin near Halden in the south of Norway.
After the following tour of more than 100 gigs both nationally and abroad (France, Switzerland, and Germany), the band spent the greater part of 2005 in Berczelly's studio, and released their fourth album, Reasons to Hang Around, in January 2006.
