Håkon Kornstad had already enjoyed quite an extensive international career as a jazz saxophonist, with his groups and solo improvisation project. Released multiple Norwegian Grammy nominated albums, reviewed several times by the New York Times, and praised by various international jazz magazines for his alternative saxophone techniques, and for his sound. Then he discovered that he had a voice.	

Two years later, Håkon has started gaining reputation as an operatic tenor in Norway. He was enrolled to the Norwegian Opera School for a master’s degree 2011-2013. Spring 2012 saw him starting to do concerts and include his singing with his solo saxophone show.

A Tenor Battle was when the hipest saxophonists in town competed in playing the fastest and loudest saxophone solo in clubs in the fifties. In Håkon Kornstad’s tenor battle this is a “fight” between an operatic tenor and a tenor saxophonist - in the same man... Kornstad’s tenor battle is still an experiment, but he will perform some concerts in Norway this summer.

Also his solo concerts are starting to see glimpses of tenor singing.

Jazid Klubb was a music scene that originated in Møllergaten 16 in Oslo on 18 August 1995. The club was there for two years before it moved to Pilestredet 17 and held 100-120 concerts and events annually until 12 February 2002. The club was a  hub for various cultural platforms such as its own radio program on Radio Paris Oslo (Jazid FM-ly), its own record store that sold vinyl (Jazid Records), its own sound studio (Blue Cross Studio), its own record label (Jazid Collective) that published 15 releases, and itself  the club (Jazid Klubb) which had concerts and events seven days a week.  Jazid Klubb is considered to be "The mother of house clubs in Oslo" and ran everything from house via jazz to drum&bass to rock and Latino.  Several artists originate from this scene such as Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas.  Bugge Wesseltoft, Atomic and Nils Petter Molvær also used the club as a public rehearsal space for their alternative music projects.
