Norwegian born Nils Olav, a vinyl addict since a teenager, began producing music and DJing under the name Nils Noa in his late teens. At only 22 he became the first Norwegian artist to release an Essential Mix, one of the most acclaimed DJ mix platforms of that time. He was the main DJ booker and monthly resident at Oslo’s The Villa for 10 years  - where he booked DJs including DJ Sneak, Dubfire, Guy Gerber and Paul Woolford amongst many others, and has been A&R at Sony Music for the last 6 years.

As Nils’ music taste slowly broadened, and through meetings with musician Chandra Lacombe from Brazil, he found himself immersed in an underground culture of medicine music - musicians who were aligned with deep spiritual values and time spent learning from tribes of the Amazon and teachings from the Central and South Americas, as well a traditions from the Eastern philosophies. In 2018 he started record label Nixi Music, alongside producer multi instrumentalist Txai Fernando. The label is now home to medicine musicians including Curawaka, Ayla Schafer and Chandra Lacombe, amongst others, and has featured remixes from artists including Mose, J.Pool and Steffen Ki.

"Meeting Chandra Lacombe was very special, he had a huge spiritual influence on me. And being around so many master musicians the last years with Nixi Music, I have found so much musical inspiration. They have inspired me to land in a place where my spirituality and music can exist side by side. The last years, it has felt natural to come back to my birth name - Nils Olav - for releasing music. This new musical world I have come into has opened my ears in many ways. and to merge electronic sounds with live performances from skilled musicians feels the most natural thing to do. The first projects I am releasing are remixes for Adrian Freedman, Ayla Schafer and many more be reveiled in the coming year.”
