Jason Catron first heard about Angelina in April 2021 as the moderator for a Q/A session at the Nordic Oscar Weekend, where Boris Palenovski asked Tor Eric Hermansen from Stargate questions about their work with Angelina. Jason read those questions to him, but apparently didn't recall that later.

In a livestream on 2023-07-31, so about four months prior to this birthday party, Jason said the following:

[Angelina Jordan] That's the one I want to do. And you know why? Because [...] that's who we reacted to the one time [...] We did another reaction to Angelina Jordan she blew us away, because she's amazing.

Now here's what's crazy: I did not know she's from Norway, and so many of my Norwegian friends and business acquaintances know her. [..] So today, I'm not kidding, today my friend Mathias, he manages the big huge producer HARV, who produced Peaches and Bieber's record, so he manages producers, songwriters, big deal in LA, Matthias. He's Norwegian, but he posts today her new record and said something of the fact that like she is the biggest thing on the planet right now and he can't wait for the world to see her. And when Matthias says something like that, it's a big deal.

HARV is a brother of Anthony Harvey, and married to Felisha King, who is Fallon King's twin sister, and both are also managed by Mathias. Fallon King is a co-writer of Angelina's orginal song "All My Fault", and Angelina had posted pictures with both twins and with HARV before, apparently at a birthday party of the twins.

About three month after this event, Anthony has become known as Angelina's new music director for her first Las Vegas concerts on 2024-02-29. He kept this role at least for the next three concerts, including Las Vegas 2026.

Reportedly, Mathias was also present at the Vegas concerts in '24. At least parts of the rehearsals of Angelina with the band took also place at the One on One Recording Studio. Also present in Vegas, and on Sara's 40th birthday party shortly thereafter, was Christina Sudano, who lists an affiliation with "sorumtv" on her profiles. According to a Forbes article with an interview, she has at least worked in the past for the One on One Recording Studios, works on creating connections in the music industry, and has the strongest connections to the nordic countries. Also seen in Vegas and at Sara's party was Talita Trygsland, a Norwegian born event planner. In the credits of the mini-documentary 10 Years in the Making^↗", which was filmed there, there are besides Sara two more Norwegians credited: Kjersti Flaa and Magnus Sundholm.
