In 1981, Kalvik won the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix with his song "Aldri i livet" (Never in My Life). Although his performance in the European finals ended with zero points, the song became a huge success in Norway and was later recorded in English as "Here in My Heart" with lyrics by Ralph McTell and backing vocals by ABBA's Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
Kalvik's later albums include "Det beste liv" (1984), "Livets lyse side" (1988), "Innsida ut" (1991), "I egne hender" (1995), and "Imellom to evigheter" (2000).

Through his lyrics, he encourages listeners to look inward, to cultivate empathy and compassion, and to strive for a better world. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that music has the power to bring people together and create positive change.
