Artist Bio
If you’ve seen a live set by DJ phenomenon Alan Walker, then you’re already a fan of Jonas Barsten. Operating
from his studio in Oslo, this first-call Norwegian multi-instrumentalist has a mile-long list of credentials,
but recent times have seen him shake the planet’s biggest stages as Walker’s musical director and live
keys man. As a new breed of musician with a headful of bold ideas, Jonas presides over a lineup of modern
Roland gear – including the SPD-SX Sampling Pad, A-500 Pro, AIRA SYSTEM-1, JP-08, JX-03 and TR-8 – and uses
every unit with an invention that pushes the envelope. Check out our video interviews with Jonas and let a
little Scandinavian magic rub off onto your own synth parts.
