Thomas Dybdahl
Thomas Dybdahl is a Norwegian musician in singer/songwriter tradition.
Biography
Thomas Dybdahl went out to become something what they call a shooting-star in Norway. As a solo artist, the former guitarist of the band Quadraphonics released his first single EP "Bird" in 2000. His first release did not have much success, and his second EP from 2001, "John Wayne", was also unsuccessful.
Beginning with the release of his first album "... That great October sound", the first part of his gold and platinum selling October series, in 2002, Thomas Dybdahl received national and even international appreciation for his unique work. Since then, and especially after the European release in 2004, Thomas Dybdahl's notability has increased significantly. The mostly positive reviews tout Dybdahl as a new pop wonder comparable to Nick Cave, Jeff Buckley and other important solo artists. He received the Spellemannprisen and the Alarm Award for his outstanding work.
The release of his next two albums "Stray dogs" (European release in 2005) and "One day you'll dance for me, New York City" further increased his standing as an respected artist.
In 2004, he teamed up with artists from the Jaga Jazzist and Bigbang on the project "The National Bank" which immediately entered the Norwegian charts with the project's self-titled debut album. To date, it hasn't been released outside Norway.
