Fredrik Strand Halland is a Norwegian singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer based in Los Angeles.
Early life
Born in Bergen, Halland began playing the guitar at a very young age. When he turned 9, he started taking lessons from guitarist Mads Eriksen, who first introduced Halland to the Blues. Three years later, he had over 100 live performances under his record with appearances at several renowned music festivals including the Notodden Blues Festival in Norway and South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.[1]
Career
At the age of 16 Halland moved to Los Angeles after receiving a scholarship to attend the Musicians Institute in Hollywood. He was selected as the first runner-up in Guitar Player Magazine’s “Guitar Superstar 2011” competition hosted by guitarist Larry Carlton. After graduating from music studies with honors, Fredrik started his own production company, named after the mountains surrounding his hometown of Bergen. In 2014 he played guitar on Michael Jackson’s posthumous album Xscape.[2]
