Hi, my name is Sander Meland. 29 years old, born and live in Norway.
I’ve been living off music for the past 11 years.
I started off as an artist in norway, later on expanding to Japan and had some success over there.
I’ve always preferred being behind the scenes and write for others, and now i want to expand my horizon!
I prefer producing and writing toplines, and to a big extent i do a lot of my mixes and masters myself…
I am versatile and love to try new stuff and genres.
