Skatebård

Bergen, Norway (2002-present)

Skatebård (you can call him Skateboard) is another fascinating member of the remarkable Bergen, Norwegian music scene; yes the same magical home of Sondre Lerche, Kings Of Convenience, Röyksopp and Annie.

This offbeat lad began his adventure in music upon the release of his 2002 debut Skateboarding Was A Crime (in 1989) on the legendary Tellé electro subsidiary imprint Tellektro. Skatebård conjured a blend of retro-electro, techno to even instrumental hip-hop that made a massive mark on the dance community. Getting the better of his ego and seeing the struggles of success faced with his musical comrades in the community, Skatebård opted to keep a low profile, yet anything but disappeared.
