A BIT MORE HISTORY

 

Oscar has been performing since a very young age - singing and playing live since he was 6 years old. He began playing piano at 5 years old and quickly progressed to acoustic guitar, ukulele, and drums. 

​

He has built up a strong global following and now has more than 300,000 followers on social media. Oscar shared his musical talents at the age of 7 online by covering a wide range of styles and artists from rock, pop to reggae. Famous artists started re-sharing young Oscar's original covers including Queen, Aerosmith, Camila Cabello, Calum Scott, James TW, Grace Vanderwall and Guns N' Roses whose posts reached millions. 

​

Now 16, Oscar has played many historic Swedish venues - playing live to over 1.3M people on Scandinavia's biggest music TV show ("Allsång på Skansen"), at the Circus Arena in Stockholm, in front of 60,000 people for the largest climate concert in Sweden, and was the youngest artist ever to grace the Main Stage at the Boardmasters Festival in UK.

​

In 2020, he played live for Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden for her birthday in front of millions of TV viewers. He toured across Sweden to raise money for the mental health charity "Never Alone" and was Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award nominee ("Sweden's Favorite Star"). That same year, he starred in the lead role in Sweden's smash hit kids TV show, "KÄR" with 122 episodes and returned to the TV screen in 2021 starring as Felix in the final series of the popular "Up4Noise".

​

In 2021/2, Oscar wrote and released his debut EP "THIR13EN". He recorded all instruments on the EP (except the drums). THIR13EN was critically acclaimed and led to Oscar winning Rookie Artist of the Year at the Sweden "DennizPop" Awards. Selected from a jury of industry experts including Max Martin, Oscar was the youngest ever to receive the award. Oscar finished his Year 9 education in 2023 and has spent much of 2024 writing new songs and playing live.  He still finds time to do what he loves most - performing on the streets of his home town, Malmö in Sweden. 

 

What's coming next is going to be epic!
