Oddny

With songs like "Oktober, Bergen by", "Bittelitt" and "Alma", Spellemann winner Oddny has long since distinguished himself as a unique figure in the Norwegian music scene from Western Norway.

Radio success, sold-out concerts and an ever-growing fan base, they also walked away with the 2024 Luttprisen as Newcomer of the Year. In 2025, the awards continued to come, when both the Norwegian Music Forum's Artist Scholarship and the Frank Hammersland Memorial Fund landed in their laps. It's a win: Oddny hits the nail on the head. And when the Spellemannprisen was to be awarded in March 2026, Iver Strand Senneset / Oddny went all the way to the top and won the prize for Lyricist of the Year, in addition to being nominated in the category Songwriter of the Year.

With their own unique and very recognizable signature, they mix alternative pop rock with dialect lyrics full of nerve and intimacy. On stage, they have become one of the most talked-about live bands in the country, and in 2025 they took it by storm – festival after festival, from small and large venues in both Norway and Sweden. Sold out at the Culture House in Bergen. Sold out at the Parkteatret. And when they played at by:Larm in 2025, Gaffa threw a resounding six and called the concert “grandios”. It’s just a matter of bowing your head.

The band is based in Gamlahuset in Bremanger – a kind of musical collective where they periodically live, work, write and record their songs, with drummer and producer Oliver Igland as a safe hand on the levers. Now they are back in Gamlahuset, where they are recording their second album this spring – and new music is expected during the year.
Oddny is sharp with new energy, fresh picks and clear plans. They come to us in full swing, with songs that hit home without knocking.
