Henrik “Richello” Sæter has had a standout year in 2025. He recently scored a #1 hit in Japan with “Be Alright” for Korean K-pop superstars IVE, and he’s behind the biggest-streaming Norwegian-language song of the year, “Bender”by Søte & Rare, which has also earned a Spellemann nomination for Song of the Year. Richello is further cementing his international rise with two tracks on Alan Walker x Steve Aoki’s upcoming release, Lonely Club, dropping December 5th.
Richello’s journey started early, producing tracks for Norwegian fraternity houses—songs that quickly went viral. He later worked closely with Mio (of Lay Low – Tiësto) from the DJ duo Broiler. In 2020, he was accepted into LIMPI (Lillehammer Institute of Music Production and Industries), the prestigious school founded by global hitmakers Stargate. There, he was mentored directly by industry heavyweights including Tor E. Hermansen (Stargate), Emily Warren, and Sarah Hudson.
Since then, he has written and produced for major Norwegian pop acts and is now firmly stepping onto the international stage.
