About

ILKAMA is the solo project of Norwegian electronic musician and producer Vilde Ilkama Nupen.

LKAMA debuted in 2018 with the EP "Rite of Passage", followed up by albums “Vilden sky” in 2023 and “ILKAMANIA” in 2024. Previous to this, she has been active as one half of the acclaimed Norwegian electronic duo sgrow. Vilde is also an avid remixer and is active as a composer and sound designer in the performing arts field.  

ILKAMA's music is characterized by a fondness for found sound and field recordings, off-kilter beats, analogue synths, cassette tape and nostalgia. Sonically, ILKAMA draws inspiration from future soul, LA Beat, hip hop, rnb, ambient, electro-acoustic music, UK Garage, glitch, drum'n'bass and pop. With a love for all kinds of music and a collector’s mindset she brings everything she likes with her into her own sonic expression, including samples of people, objects and places that are dear to her heart.

Aside from making music, Vilde has spent years initiating and building up important recruiting platforms for women, trans and non-binary music producers in Norway. She has held workshops, courses and arranged meet-ups focusing on community building, creative exploration and making music technology more accessible.
