«Andreas Ihlebæk has rapidly become one of the most dynamic, ground-breaking composers in modern classical music», wrote Apple Music after the release of Ihlebæk's album I Will Build You A House. Already his debut album The Guest (2017), which was hailed as "a masterpiece" in media all around Europe, put Ihlebæk on the international map as an innovative composer who had created a whole new genre of music.
 
With his unique blend of modern classical, soul, art pop, jazz, choral music and folk music from his native Norway, Ihlebæk captured listeners around the world, and each live concert became an event. "Andreas Ihlebæk's concert at Oslo Concert Hall was the musical highlight of the year", said Norway's broadcaster NRK.
 
He was invited to perform the live finale at the Norwegian Grammies (Spellemannprisen) on NRK in 2021, filmed at the Norwegian National Museum – a performance which Spellemannprisen later presented as "the most beautiful moment of the year". 
 
Ihlebæk started working with the global classical music label Naxos Music in 2019, and has released four critically acclaimed solo albums – as of 2024 – as well as an almost unmatched string of singles constantly featured on Apple and Spotify's lists of best new classical releases. He is now on Naxos Sweden. 
 
His latest album NOWHERE EVERYTHING again received overwhelming reviews and top scores from all around Europe, claiming the album was "one of the best albums of the year". It's been called a "otherworldly", "magical" and a "breathtakingly beautiful" work of "exceptional sophistication" that "it feels infinitely good to be in". Or as one critic put it: "If you're wondering what to listen to one last time before going deaf ...this is it". 

Ihlebæk is currently taking his solo piano RO project to venues and beautiful locations around Norway. Read more about this unique live concept drawing full houses and building much traction here. 

He also performs NOWHERE EVERYTHING, described as a "fascinating" and imaginative" musical experience with an ensemble consisting of strings and vocalists, including Annasara Lundgren, Nosizwe Baqwa and Sisi Sumbundu. 

Ihlebæk scores for film/television, with the film Flophouse America (release tba) as the most recent. The film, produced by the renowned documentary company Fri Film, was scored together with his production partner Marius Troy. His long-time collaborator Troy has done most of the visuals and cover art since The Guest (2017), but the partnership also extends to music. The two will present a collaborative music and visual EP in early 2024. In addition they do remixes, reworks and new pieces with the production trio Morgenland, alongside Lars Ib Herlovsen.
