Per is an Oslo-based electronic music composer and producer known for blending cinematic elements with infectious electronic grooves. He began his musical journey on guitar at age 8, later expanding to piano and synthesizers and honing his craft in a popular local cover band known for fresh twists on lesser-known tracks. Armed with an electronic engineering degree he complete with a bachelor’s thesis on MIDI interface development during the early days of MIDI — he has long been experimenting in sampling and electronic production. After relocating to Oslo, he formed a band featuring a full horn section, and one of his Eurovision Song Contest submissions even earned BBC airplay. Drawing inspiration from electronic pioneers such as Røyksopp, Moby, and Jean-Michel Jarre, as well as rock icons like Toto and film-score legends Hans Zimmer and John Williams, he crafts an immersive sound that appeals to contemporary listeners at all ages.
