Prins Oblonsky aka Tobias Fredø, is a 25 years old composer and producer from Oslo, Norway. He has been involved in music from his early age, first the trombone, then the guitar. He bought his first sampler when he was 18, and inspired by artist like J Dilla and 9th Wonder, he began making beats and participating in Beat Battles through the forum for the Stones Throw label. Over the years, he has developed a love and fascination for analogue sound and synthesizers, and uses all his spare time on music, on the side of studies and daytime job. When he was 23, he started working with music and soundscapes for short-films, along with developing his style in the house-ish direction, inspired by artists like Floating Points, Four Tet, Dauwd, Rival Consoles, and fellow Norwegian Bjørn Torske.
