Norway’s Voices Now: ULD

Part of the Jamaica Worldwide artist series: trending in Norway, October 2026.

Who They Are

ULD is an Oslo trio named after its members’ initials: Une Lorentze Onarheim (vocals), Lucia Andreadatter Utnem (piano) and Dagny Braanen Lindgren (accordion). They went to school together and began making music at Toneheim folk high school. Their sound blends Norwegian folk song, chanson and alternative pop, and they often set poems by writers like Jon Fosse and Gunvor Hofmo to music.

The Rise

Their 2024 debut Fra en annen virkelighet earned three Spellemann nominations, and in 2025 they won both the Edvard Prize and the Prøysen Prize. They have sold out Oslo Concert Hall, played for the Royal Family at the Palace, and in 2026 played Roskilde Festival before touring Scandinavia, Iceland, Ireland and the UK.

Why They’re Trending

Their heartbreak ballad “Håper at du ser meg nå” (I hope you see me now), released in September 2026, has been number one on VG-lista, Norway’s official singles chart.
