Career
TRXD performing with Skinny Days

Truls Dyrstad showed an early interest in music, and started playing the guitar at a young age before he started to produce music later on. David Atarodiyan didn't start playing or making music until his teens, but quit his job and went on a habitus abroad to learn as much as possible as quick as possible. Even though they both studied at UiA in Norway, it was a series of coincidences and mutual friends that brought them together.[1]

2015–


TRXD was signed to Warner Music Norway (2016) after creating a buzz around their remixes, mainly through American music magazine Billboard.[2] They released their first single "Wherever You Go" (featuring Hilde) in April 2016, and the song sold to double platinum by the end of the year.[3][4] The song also got listed on the official Norwegian chart VG-lista for more than seven weeks, which gave them an opportunity to perform at their official tour 2016.[5][6] The duo makes vocal EMD-music, but usually don’t sing on their own releases. This has led them to work with other artist, songwriters and vocalists on most of their projects.[1]

TRXD was booked to perform at the Norwegian industry festival by:Larm 2017.[7]

gollark: An interesting fact is that functions can have multiple return values, which is a different thing to tables and iterators because of course.
gollark: The syntax is such that it doesn't need any indication of when a statement ends.
gollark: Well, Lua makes them easy because it mostly lets you use no linebreaks at all.
gollark: Oh yes, that is definitely an "OS" just because you took OpenOS and changed the name marginally.
