Crossword Genius

Singer-songwriter composing eulogy in Norway (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neil young

'singer-songwriter' is the definition.
(Neil Young is a singer-songwriter)

'composing eulogy in norway' is the wordplay.
'composing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'norway' becomes 'n'.
'eulogy'+'in'+'n'='eulogyinn'
'eulogyinn' with letters rearranged gives 'NEIL YOUNG'.
