The music of Odd Nordstoga has its roots in the wild, wistful landscapes of his native Norway's Telemark region. The singer's folk-steeped early years are evidenced in his musical soundscapes, embellished with lyrics delivered in local dialects. Drawing comparisons to Paul Brady and Brian Kennedy in his traditional early work, he later broadened his horizons with collaborations drawing on jazz and hip-hop. He is an artist culturing new pearls from ageless rhythms and refrains, with organic harmonies emanating from within.
