Frode Fjellheim NORWAY
​

Norwegian composer and musician (piano, synthesizer and joik). ​He is best known for his band Transjoik and as the composer of the song "Eatnemen Vuelie", which in an adapted version called «Vuelie», is the opening musical number of the Disney film «Frozen».
Fjellheim was educated at the Classical program at Trøndelag Musikkonservatorium (1980–84). He has a long list of comissioned works for festivals and various musical ensembles. He has also composed a lot of theatre music, music for documentaries, TV and several short films. During the 1990s, he headed his namesake band Jazz Joik Ensemble, which later became Transjoik.
Mari Boine, Ulla Pirttijärvi, Katarina Barruk, Anne Vada, Hildegunn Øiseth, Iren Reppen and Tone Hulbækmo are some of the other artists that Fjellheim has worked with.
Decca records will release an album with some of Fjellheim´s choral works in 2017 - performed by Cantus (the choir singing Vuelie on the Frozen opening). Fjellheim holds a professorate at Nord University.
