FUORI is my solo project, where I work closely with some fantastic singers and musicians on creating something emotional, energetic and beautiful together. The list of people collaborating are: Miss Tati, Jonas Alaska, Herman Wildhagen, MIDISOFI, Baby B, Jouska, Magnus Bechmann and more to come. We have also added some live musicians to the mix, including the wonderful Axel Skalstad on drums, Henriette Eilertsen on flute and a string orchestra put together by the one and only Sara Övinge. Debut album coming out later this year, with some singles being released before that.
Candura is a new band project featuring Gabriela Garrubo on vocals, Sigmund Vestrheim on drums, myself on guitar and Ole Petter Ålgård on keys. We are working on our first batch of songs now, and are looking to release it during 2023. Musically it’s influenced by everything from Napolitan disco to Turkish funk to Bossa Nova and American soul. Can’t wait to show this new music to you!
I’m super happy to be working on a new project with Melkeveien/Kristian Møller Johansen. We named it OKIOK, and we have batch of songs now. First single “Keegasus” is out on Pekula Records February 12th! Also, a remix of the infamous Norwegian band Jaga Jazzist will be released on Brainfeeder shortly.

Montée was a band formed in 2007, where I played guitar and co-produced most of the music. The band featured a lot of great musicians during our 7 years together: Anders Tjore, Haakon-Marius Pettersen, Marius Simonsen, David Wallumrød, Maya Vik, Andreas Bye and Rune Nergaard. We put out 3 albums - “Isle Of Now”, “Rendition Of You” and “Into The Fray” - and won a Norwegian Grammy “Spellemann” for our 2nd record.
