Oldboy is the brainchild of Swedish musician Gustav Roth, a musical medium created to converge his lifelong curiosity for exploration with having fun. Oldboy exists within his own rules for life; Be a Lord of Dogtown and also a loving Father. Be loving, be brave and never grow up. Travel the world and be at peace with yourself and your surroundings, no matter where life takes you.

Musically, Oldboy is similarly curious; creating timeless meaningful indie songwriting with a boisterous modern musical edge. There amongst the contradictions, with both music and life, is where the magic exists. Oldboy represents a timeless sound where you can be adventurous, curious and everything in between.

Sound design, composition- performing arts. I also write but my core expression is connecting through sound.

Educated through Stockholm University of the Arts 2023- 2026, based in Stockholm, excited to work close and beyond.

My name is Astrid Risberg, I'm often called Asta, sometimes Yari by those who follow my music project with the matching name.

I want to create worlds where audiences are invited to reflect and connect. To sometimes find answers and roads to understanding the questions existing deep within, or to invite new thoughts, questions and point-of-views to carry with them home after leaving the performance. I treasure vonerability, expressing desires and daring to hope for more. There is power in presence and careing. I hope to, through art, help people approach themselves-, the world around them -and other people, with more curiosity and care. Even in the uncertain, to be open
