Biography
In 2014, Mulelid completed his studies at the Jazz program at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, and has thereafter been active with bands like Kjemilie, Wako, and a number of others.{{cite web|url=http://kjetilmulelid.com/projects/index.html|title=MULELID / projects|publisher=KjetilMulelid.com|accessdate=2017-10-26}} Kjetil Mulelid Trio released their debut album Not Nearly Enough To Buy A House in 2017. Together with bassist Bjørn Marius Hegge and drummer Andreas Skår Winther. The trio is in the same musical landscape as In The Country and Espen Eriksen Trio, with much youthful playfulness and curiosity. Mulelid is inspired by anything from hymns to free jazz, and the music is energetic, rhythmically intricate, harmoniously rich, intimate and with appealing melodies. The tunes on the album are mostly composed by Mulelid, but with room for individual and collective improvisation. The trio have toured in most of Central Europe.{{cite news|url=http://www.adressa.no/kultur/detskjer/article32265_1091942.event2|title=Kjetil mulelid trio|date=2017-09-29|work=adressa.no|access-date=2017-10-26|language=nb-NO|archive-date=2017-10-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171027030516/http://www.adressa.no/kultur/detskjer/article32265_1091942.event2|url-status=dead}}
