Anders Nilsen (born June 23, 1988[1]) is a Norwegian songwriter, music producer who became known with his dance tunes with a humorous touch.
In 2013, he released two singles that established a following for him being "20.000" in July 2013 and "Abuanders" in November of the same year. He also put various comedies through his channel.[2]
It was however with his hit "Salsa Tequila", an attempt to write a song in Spanish without actually knowing to speak Spanish (No hablo Español, as he says in the single's lyrics)[3] that he gained fame and an international dance hit that has charted in Norway, Netherlands and Belgium.
Since January 2014, he also works as a scriptwriter for the NRK program Tabu med Abu.[2]
