Fredrik William Olsen is a Norwegian musician and songwriter, known for his contemplative lyrics and melodious guitar work that deeply resonate with Scandinavian sensibilities. Hailing from Bodø, a city located above the Arctic Circle in Norway, Olsen is also recognized as a guitarist and one of the principal songwriters for the critically acclaimed band Kråkesølv, a group celebrated for their blend of indie rock and traditional Norwegian folk music.

Olsen has successfully carved out a solo career that complements his work with Kråkesølv, often showcasing a more introspective and intimate side of his artistry. His solo discography is a testament to his talent as a musician who can stand alone, apart from the collaborative endeavors of his band. With albums like "På NY," which means "Anew" in English, and "Kosmos Og Kaos," translating to "Cosmos and Chaos," Olsen offers a poetic exploration of life's binaries and the nuanced spaces between them. Other releases like "Havets Frukt," "Til Stede" which means "Present," "Fornøyd," meaning "Content," and "Hver gang æ græv," translating to "Every Time I Dig," further reflect his enduring fascination with human emotions, the passage of time, and our connection to nature. Olsen's music is a tranquil soundtrack for the soul, inviting listeners to pause and reflect on the simplicities and complexities woven into the fabric of everyday life.
