Kristoffer Birkedal is a musician and songwriter whose life revolves around his love for music. Songwriting is his passion and purpose—a craft he pursues with unwavering dedication because it brings him true happiness.
Drawing inspiration from genres with depth and substance, Kristoffer’s influences span folk, jazz, reggae, classical, and beyond. His own sound is deeply rooted in the 60s folk revival, shaped by artists like Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Bert Jansch.
Kristoffer’s journey has been anything but conventional. From hitchhiking across Europe and playing gigs in small venues, to working on farms and performing on the streets, he has channeled his experiences into his art. His debut album, A Tapestry, set for release in 2025, captures years of personal growth and change.
Now based in Oslo, Kristoffer is finishing the album while co-hosting Folk & Røvere Festivalen, a folk music and poetry festival he organizes each summer with his girlfriend. The festival celebrates creativity, community, and the spirit of folk music.
Follow his journey as he brings his heartfelt stories to life through music.
