Nikolai Grindevoll Liljedahl
Nikolai is a singer & singwriter and a studio musician. He also plays guitar and piano. Nikolai and me went to school together for a year, where we cooperated musically with various projects. He progressed rapidly as a musician, and he was performing with me as a musical right hand. In later years he has proven himself as a skilled multitrack recording artist, and in 2022 he got his own recording studio operational. We are featured on several of each others songs, witch can be heard on streaming services and physical releases.

Chris is a very skillfull and passionate guitarist, with high dedication to the craft. Chris and I go way back. We used to play together with a few other guys when we were kids. As adults we have reconnected, and in 2019 he was featured on my funk-rock single release Honning Med Bismak (2020), with an excellent performence. Stay tuned, as he will surely reappear in my musical projects in the futere.

Olav Østebø Olsen
When I met Olav in the fall of 2014 he was already an established musician. He had TV appearences, concerts and gigs behind him. With the band "The Pop Culture Elite" he also released the album "Perfectly Normal Paranoia" in 2013.
Olav is a very capable pianist, and a singer & songwriter. His music has an original and recognizable sound, with a lot of complex harmonies and beats. He also have another and more recent band called "Fylking Fornuft".
My collaborations with Olav has been musically enlightening for the both of us. In 2015 he was featured six times on my album "Living in a Dream". I wrote the songs, and we composed and arranged the them together. His musical touch is particularly noticeable in the bridges and solo parts.

To date, four of our songs has been released. Two of them has even been released professionally. "Mørkeblå Soldater" from april of 2019 is by far the most popular. It was written as a team song for the local footbalclub Olsvik IL, where Tobias himself is playing. The song is being played at Olsvik Stadion on game nights and on other occations.

"Grimstad Fotballkor"
In december 2018 Ellertsen Studio produced "Mørkeblå Soldater". As a part of the song, we wanted a signature catchphrase, and we wanted the sound of football supporters on the stand. Originally we wanted a whole choir of fotball players, but that wasn´t feasible. The people in the picture above, recreated all the necessary chanting to make it sound real. I thank them for their help, and for a very fun day at the office.
