Waveshaper is a Swedish electronic music artist known for his significant contributions to the synthwave genre, a style heavily influenced by 1980s film soundtracks, video games, and pop culture. Real name Tom Andersson, Waveshaper channels the essence of vintage synthesizers and the neon-soaked nostalgia of the 80s era into his music, creating atmospheric and retro-futuristic soundscapes that resonate with fans of that bygone golden age of synthesizer music.

Rising to prominence in the mid-2010s, Waveshaper has become a notable figure within the synthwave community, praised for his ability to craft authentic and engaging tunes. His discography showcases a wide range of electronic compositions, from the driving beats of tracks like "Determination" and "Desolation" to the more contemplative and melodic pieces like "Hearts" and "NOCTURNAL." His work has not only resonated with listeners but also caught the attention within the gaming world. This is evidenced by his recent composition for "The Crew 2 - Season 9 Episode 2: Flashback (Original Game Soundtrack)" which demonstrates his versatility in adapting his signature sound for various multimedia platforms. With each release, Waveshaper continues to reinforce his status as one of the core artists keeping the spirit of synthwave alive and evolving.
