On a mission to inspire artists and audiences to be more shameless, multi-artist OPAHL has made her mark as a creative powerhouse with one foot in the world of mainstream pop music and another in the queer avantgarde underground scene.
OPAHL is a rising songwriter, producer and artist from Norway, partially based in Los Angeles. With a musical upbringing and Grammy-award winning mentors like Stargate, Autumn Rowe and Sarah Hudson, OPAHL developed a sharp instinct for catchy hooks and attention-grabbing concepts. With a passion for creating a shameless and unapologetic atmosphere in the studio, OPAHL has become a trusted collaborator across genres. From clubby EDM and dance-pop, to experimental K-pop and hyperpop, to melancholic alt-pop; OPAHL brings a distinct signature sound and feeling to any track.
“As a songwriter or producer, mastering the art of creating a vibe is essential. Walking into a session, I always aim to create a shameless space where artists can create fearlessly.”
A week into 2025, OPAHL's debut single "Airline Undefined" (released Nov 15, 2024) was recommended by NRK Urørt and listed on NRK P3, one of the biggest radio channels in Norway, after engaging thousands of listeners on social media. Before releasing her solo project, OPAHL co-wrote and produced in the shadows for other artists for years, garnering attention from Norwegian and international press (NRK P3, Ballade, disharmoni, Gaffa, Musikknyheter, 730.no, NATT&DAG, Scandipop). Songwriter/producer highlights include a top 40 hit in Thailand, Musikkprisen 2020, 5 NRK Urørt recommendations, multiple Spotify editorial playlists, international radio listings, and a sync deal. Moreover, OPAHL has been rewarded with music stipends from The Norwegian Composers’ fund (2024/2025), Music Norway (2021), and Alesund Municipality (2009).
“I rarely plan out what I’m going to write about. I trust that words and melodies will flow once I get on the mic. I have trained myself to be radically honest and vulnerable on the spot. Let the song take me wherever it wants to go.”
HOUSE OF OPAHL was founded as an umbrella organization for all of OPAHL's creative projects. HOUSE OF OPAHL currently offers consulting services for artists on matters regarding artist identity, creative direction, PR, release strategy, and more. Guided by the creed "Shameless, Fearless, Creative", HOUSE OF OPAHL is a safe and empowering space for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
“The creative process saved my life as I let go of my shame and morphed into a more unapologetic version of myself. Now I want to show others that it is possible for them too. Music is the most primal form of self-expression and can completely transform your life if you let it.”
