With his highly anticipated debut solo album Infinity, Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Michael Krumins’ uniquely intriguing blend of cosmopolitan world music, atmospheric and melancholic folk is realized as never before. Both a musical and literal nomad, who has lived and created across Europe and Africa, this wandering virtuoso is promising a vibrant, stylistically-diverse record encompassing influences and instruments from folk music, while also reflecting his background in prog rock/metal.
Embracing a kaleidoscope of international influences, styles, and instruments, this global artist brings a quarter-century of performing with some of Europe and Africa’s most experimental and captivating projects to this long-awaited collection.
His rare talent helped land Krumins’ first band a record deal when he was just 16. Yet this was just the springboard for a dizzying career that has included a master’s degree in world music, touring across Europe, the Americas and Africa with Krumins playing to an audience of 60,000 in Maputo, Mozambique.
Truly a global citizen, Krumins is constantly absorbing sounds and cultures. This deep well of international experience, mastery of multiple stringed instruments, and a cinematic world view irresistibly mingle like never before on his first solo release.
