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

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.
