Biography

Abelardo's real name is Alf Inge Solvold. He was born July 12th, 1984 in Trondheim, Norway and has been living his whole life in a little town called Hell in Stjørdal. At the age of 12, he discovered the love for music when Danish/Norwegian pop group AQUA released their first single "Roses Are Red". It was because of them that he immediately got hooked on dance music. Through many years, AQUA have been a huge rolemodel for him and, still today, he loves listening to their music for they are his biggest inspiration when it comes to making music.

Abelardo started his music career editing music. He recorded AQUA songs with an old tape recorder and mixed songs when he was around 12-13 years old. It wasn't before he was around 15 years old where he started to experiment with music on the computer and, like many others, he started out with the "Dance Ejay" music program but had, later on, gotten a hold of the music program "Reason" from Propellerhead. "Reason" was much more advanced and offered a more professional sound so he decided instead to carry on with it. He has also tried using "Fruity Loops" but still prefers to use "Reason" as his default music program.

During the years, Abelardo has made hundreds of remixes and songs (mostly electronic/dance) but also created some beautiful classical songs as well as pop. He is always working on different music projects with other artists so it is always good to stay tuned for more Abelardo music that is coming your way!
