William Dillner // Jazzincubator

William Dillner is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer inspired by American pop music from the 70s and 80s. With influences such as Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, and Bernhoft, he combines West Coast pop, jazz, funk, and soul into a melodic, groovy, and distinctive soundscape. His debut album "Off Radar" was released in 2023.

In 2026, Dillner will complete his independent bachelor's degree at the Norwegian Academy of Music, where the four other members of his live band also study. He is currently working on recording new material, with plans to release a single before the summer of 2026, followed by a longer release.

Audiences can expect strong melodies, interplay, and clear references to American pop and soul traditions.
