Cezinando

Oslo-born Kristoffer Cezinando Karlsen’s recording career of almost 15 years has been a continuous attempt at reshaping musical conventions, crafting a sound that defies easy categorization. Rooted in the rap music of the 2010s, his music weaves together electronic textures, noise influences, and collage-based production, resulting in a dynamic and unpredictable take on contemporary pop music - hyper-aware of its own context and constraints.

Since his breakout in 2017, Cezinando has headlined Norway’s largest festivals with his award-winning live show, renowned for its ambitious audio-visual production and his unmistakable stage presence. At Bi Nuu, Cezinando presents a bespoke concert production of his new full-length album, Sinekyre 3 - the first opportunity to experience the brand new release, his seventh studio album, outside of Norway.

“Showing off a broadened sound this year, Cezinando proved his mettle as a singer as much as a rapper. In fact, his set was a strong contender for the most eclectic of the festival, with moshpit bangers and slick raps sitting side by side with more tender, soulful moments and some big, crowd-pleasing anthems.” -Compex UK on Cezinando at Øyafestivalen, 2024
