Kristoffer Eikrem is a trumpet player, composer, and producer based in Oslo, Norway. Born in Molde and trained at the Norwegian Academy of Music, he was named Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 2012 with the quintet Mopti and spent years touring Europe, India, and Japan before shifting his focus to beatmaking and production. His sound blends acoustic and electronic textures—warm jazz chords, lyrical trumpet improvisations, lo-fi grooves, and ambient synth work—drawing from jazz, hip hop, electronica, and R&B. After collaborations with Ivan Ave, Fredfades, and Ol' Burger Beats, he emerged as a solo producer on Chillhop Music compilations and Mutual Intentions, where his 2025 ambient album Beneath the Sky and Moments Between expanded his catalog into serene FM-synth soundscapes. He also releases as Eiki and continues to sculpt beats, sample packs, and instrumental hip-hop from his Oslo studio.
