Axident began recording and producing songs for the
Norwegian graduation celebrations, known as Russerfering or bus songs. He began commissioning theme songs for the colorfully decorated touring buses of Norwegian graduates, creating this EDM niche. Axident became the go-to producer for who had the best graduation song. Bus songs have become a training ground for many young Norwegian producers since. Andreas took the name Axident because he says that the best moments in music happen by accident and believes that great music comes from letting go of boundaries. Axident moved to the
United States in 2010 to pursue his music career. He stayed with a friend in
Nashville, Tennessee who had a connection to Ron Moss of
Universal Music Group. After providing Moss with a few recordings that he had done, Axident moved to
Los Angeles. Axident was signed to
Rondor Music/Universal Music Publishing Group in 2010. While recording, he used to keep the door to the studio open so that others could hear the music. One night he was visited in the studio by
Tricky Stewart who was recording music for
American Idol down the hallway from where Axident was recording. After meeting Stewart, Axident signed a production deal with Trickey Stewart's RedZone Entertainment and began writing and recording songs for artists such as
Semi Precious Weapons,
Wallpaper and
Far East Movement. His song "
Turn Up the Love", recorded by Far East Movement, became a top 10 song in 10 different countries. Axident founded the
Honua Music LLC publishing company in 2011 along with Ron Moss to sign and mentor other writers. Honua Music LLC publishes James (
Gladius) Wong under a hybrid deal with Pulse Recordings, and Leroy (Big Taste) Clampitt is signed directly to Honua Music. In 2012, Axident moved on from
Rondor Music/Universal Music Publishing Group to sign a hybrid deal between Honua Music and Artist Publishing group (APG) where he worked with
Mike Caren and his team. ==Discography==
