Wiese makes commercial electronic music, often in the style of electro house and slap house.[citation needed]

In 2019, Wiese caught the attention of Warner Music Norway, which released Wiese's single 'VIKING'.[1] The song was a hit in Norway, reaching the top of several national playlists, including Spotify's 'Norway Viral 50'.[2] It is also the most played Norwegian football song of all time.[3] Wiese made the song with his fellow producer and friend, Joakim Harestad Haukaas aka kid joki, who has worked with artists like Zara Larsson, Britney Spears and Seeb.[1]

Wiese first entered the public scene in 2004 through the single 'Me e Viking' which was first performed in the opening ceremony of Viking Stadion, 1 May 2004. This performance made Wiese the first artist ever to perform at the Viking Stadion.[1][6][2] Since then, he has performed at a number of arenas, including the historic Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo.

In 2008 it was awarded the 'Best Viking FK Song Of All Time' by the magazine Kick and Viking FK.[6][2]
