Peder Elias

Peder Elias is a Norwegian singer-songwriter who first gained attention with his 2018 single 'Bonfire.' That song became his breakthrough, reaching listeners well beyond Norway. He works as a solo artist but has collaborated with other Norwegian musicians like Sondre Lerche and Odd Martin Skålnes.

His music tends toward atmospheric pop with folk touches, built around melodies that feel cinematic. Songs like 'Loving You Girl' and 'Home' share that spacious, mood-driven quality. He released the album 'Celestial Bodies' in 2019 and followed it with 'Bonfire' in 2021.

In 2019, Elias faced plagiarism accusations from another artist, though the claims were eventually dismissed. He's performed at festivals including Coachella and Lollapalooza, and his songs have appeared in television and film.
