During his time on the island, Norman collaborated with numerous musicians and producers who lived there, including Lenny Krarup, Nacho Sotomayor, Stefan Zauner and DJ Pippi.

Norman formed a partnership with Hed Kandi, DJ John Jones and Martin Ikin from Soul Purpose called 'The Collective'.

[9] In 2012 and again in 2014, Norman was the featured guest saxophonist and percussionist for Steve Harley’s performances of the first two Cockney Rebel albums with orchestra and choir.

[8] In 2001, Norman and Rafa Peletey formed a production team called Cloudfish and invited Shelley Preston to provide the vocals.

Cloudfish have continued to write, produce and perform[12] and were featured artists on the eponymous CD of the Italian quintet, Quintessenza.
