Kristoffer Eikrem

Kristoffer Eikrem [ˈkrɪstɔfər ˈæikrəm] is a trumpet player, composer and producer based in Oslo, Norway. Blending acoustic and electronic textures, his music is known for its warm soundscapes, lush harmonies, and lyrical improvisations, drawing from jazz, hip hop, electronica, and R&B. Eikrem studied jazz performance at the Norwegian Academy of Music, and shortly after graduating, was named Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2012 with the quintet Mopti. As a performer, he has toured extensively across Europe, India, and Japan, and appeared at many of Norway’s major festivals. After years on the live jazz circuit, Eikrem shifted his focus toward production, diving into the world of lo-fi beats and instrumental hip hop, a transition sparked by early collaborations with Ivan Ave and Fredfades. Today, he creates soulful, genre-blurring productions and regularly collaborates with instrumentalists from around the globe. www.kristoffereikrem.com
