"it seems I have a weakness I didn't know about, till the day it rained...
it seems my weakness has been bulging, has been forcing its way............."
Thomas Dybdahl (born 1979 in Sandnes, Norway) is a Norwegian musician in singer/songwriter tradition.
Thomas Dybdahl went out to become somewhat of a shooting-star in Norway. As a solo artist, the former guitarist of the band Quadraphonics released his first single EP Bird in 2000. His first release did not have much success, and his second EP from 2001, John Wayne, was also unsuccessful.
Beginning with the release of his first album entitled ... That Great October Sound in 2002, the first part of his gold and platinum selling October series, he received national and even international appreciation for his unique work. Since then, and especially after the European release in 2004, Thomas Dybdahl's notability has increased significantly. The mostly positive reviews tout Dybdahl as a new pop wonder comparable to Nick Cave, Jeff Buckley and other important solo artists. He received the Spellemannprisen and the Alarm Award for his outstanding work.
The release of his next two albums Stray Dogs (European release in 2005) and One Day You'll Dance for Me, New York City further increased his standing as a respected artist.
In 2004, he teamed up with artists from the Jaga Jazzist and Bigbang on the project The National Bank, which immediately entered the Norwegian charts with the project's self-titled debut album. To date, it hasn't been released outside Norway.
In 2007, he performed as an opening act in the USA for fellow Norwegian artist Sondre Lerche.

I am currently so inlove with this guy, his voice and his music just woos me. The greatest things is that, he's a friend of Sondre Lerche, another guy i like..hehe. Thomas' music is just really moving, especially "From Grace", the lyrics are so sincere. The music is provocative and its not the typical love music..its just so mesmerizing. I'd love to be watching him live and drooling over his songs. Gosh, Norwegian men must be really interesting.
