About us

Smeik is an independent record label that focuses on releasing exciting and original music, independent of genre. We are eager to face a fast-paced and changing music industry, and are open to Smeik growing in several directions. By opening up for artistic exploration we strive to combine various art forms, allowing for adventurous and innovative collaborations. This began already on our first release in December 2018, with En (Alle) by Nybo/Ravn, that combined poetry and jazz music. We are continuously striving to challenge the traditional industry and are currently working on several artistic ideas to be revealed in the future.

We wish to give up-and-coming musicians a fair chance of releasing their music even though they represent a unique style of music that does not fit into the artistic profiles of other record labels.

The members of Smeik are a group of young, artistic personas with backgrounds from Larvik, Sandefjord and Stokke in Vestfold county, Norway. Because of this common geographic connection we initially wished to feature the work of local musicians and artists, creating an outlet for cooperation and cultural development in the area. However, this quickly changed to include both other national and international artists, and we have already released the music of great musicians with backgrounds from several countries. And more countries are yet to come!

Smeik has four associated artists that will regularly release their music through the label in addition to contributing to the daily operations: Petter Asbjørnsen, Magnus Murphy Joelson, Martin Nodeland and Arne Martin Nybo. In addition, Sigurd Waldemar Mong-Nybo and Ivar Moen work behind the scenes to ensure that the record label is a well-oiled machine.
