Wanting to focus exclusively on being a solo artist, as well as experiencing something totally different, he moved to Yunnan in Southwest China. New inspirations for lyrics and melody came through the meeting with chinese culture and philosophy. After returning to Norway, he released an EP using his full name <a href="spotify:artist:1ZWEPO40VJBuYt4FTAca2S" data-name="Håvard Dyvesveen">Håvard Dyvesveen</a> in 2011.
