Frode Holm
Frode Holm started his musical career in Norway in the early 70s, both as a musician and also as a record-label manager. The former included the keyboard chair in the seminal Norwegian fusion group “Vanessa” which had a wide following in Scandinavia and elsewhere. In his role as label-executive he was instrumental in creating and running the “Compendium” label, which released many recordings to high acclaim across Europe, Japan and the US. In the 80s he signed with Polygram as a solo artist, using the artist name of “HolmCPU”. A track from the album ".login", "Fotspor", recently was at the top of Spotify's chart for 'most viral' for Norway and has become a hit song for the radio and EDM pre-concert playlists across Europe.
In 1988 moved to Santa Barbara, California and during his first years in the US, his focus was mainly on music software technology, which remains a passionate interest. Even though making music took a back seat, he was always writing and producing tracks and in 1999 came out with his first US album, this time as “FrodoCPU”. The tracks from that album are being played and downloaded on sites throughout the world to this day.
In the years since then, he has been busy with songwriting, production and live playing in his adopted hometown of Santa Barbara. Now he's ready once more with a new collection of songs on his 4th FrodoCPU album: "Horizons".
