Hip-hop with drops.
Dynamic vocals, hard-hitting beats, and turntable cuts; these are the sounds listeners have come to know from this Seattle-based performing artist & producer/DJ. With a background in classical violin, jazz guitar, and an audio engineering degree from the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (handed over by Sir Paul McCartney himself), Torbjørn brings a diverse sound to both dance music and hip-hop fans. 2022 will see the release of new several new songs, including Get Away, You Forever, Surface, and Modern AUT. Alongside a talented cast of collaborators, these new releases showcase a unique blend of his singing and rapping. Both raw and digitally processed, listeners will hear hints of vocal inspiration from the likes of Atmosphere and Run the Jewels. Instrumentally, the music features hard hitting trap, melodic future bass, and glitch/IDM sounds akin to Flume, and RL Grime. Despite such an eclectic list of contemporary influences, Torbjørn’s work comes off palatable to many different crowds; as heard on record labels Street Ritual, MalLabel, and ShadowTrix. Coming off two national tours with Ceschi and Dark Time Sunshine (Fake Four Records) and an appearance at Bass Oasis Festival, both his live performances and DJ sets are more impressive than ever. Profound lyricism, matched by bombastic beats, all accompanied by cinematic visuals; experiencing Torbjørn live in concert brings the music to a whole new level.
