Still only 28 years old, Kjetil Mulelid comes across as an exceptionally mature pianist and composer. His trio ́s debut from 2017 received wide international acclaim, with writers most typically mentioning Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans. Kjetil André Mulelid grew up in the small village of Hurdal, and started playing the piano when he was nine, after hearing Chopin on the stereo. In high school he had the good fortune of studying with some inspiring piano teachers. Later he did a bachelor degree in jazz performance at NTNU in Trondheim, again being blessed with top teachers, such as Erling Aksdal, Vigleik Storaas and Eyolf Dale. Kjetil Mulelid Trio consist Bjørn Marius Hegge on bas and Andreas Skår Winther on drums.
