From the streets of Oslo to festival stages and tours across the globe with LEPROUS, Baard Kolstad's career is nothing short of expansive, impressive, and fueled by sheer determination and hard work ethic. But his career hasn't necessarily been a linear one. As the current drummer for Leprous and Rendezvous Point, Baard works under the mantra that he'll try to take on every opportunity that comes his way. His reluctance in saying "no" has seen him go from busking on the streets of Oslo to competing in talent shows and drum competitions, to performing with everyone from electronic DJs to Borknagar and now Leprous.

But you don't need us to tell you all this - we took the opportunity to sit down with Baard to have him break down his career, milestone-by-milestone, to see how navigated his rather unconventional drumming career one opportunity at a time."
