Peder Losnegård comes from a gospel/pop-background with a family in music and stumbled into hiphop by accident. He was born in Haugesund on the west coast of Norway and was heavily influenced by his fathers gospel-music. From a very early age, he was known as a talented drummer, but around the age of 10, he started making beats on his dads computer and listened to artists like Kanye West. The sudden change in style happened when an american student (Cody Berkland) moved to Peder's hometown for a short while and was a great influence on him.
The music industry quickly noticed the young talent and through talentshows and concerts around the country, he started to make a name for himself. The first break happened when he performed on a the show "Lydverket" on national tv and signed with Universal Music Norway not long after that. Thing kept rolling and Lido got to be the warm-up act for artists like Snoop Dogg, Bun-B, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Clipse, Madcon and many more.
"LidoLido is the biggest talent to come out of Norway in a long time. His sound is completely current and completely original."
- Stargate
Lido is a selfproclaimed "Good Guy". His lyrics are not explit and he brings a positive point of view into a genre many people concider to be "negative". The most characteristic thing about Lido must be his musical understanding and melodic way of rapping/singing, which makes him appeal to a wide and diverse audience within all ages.
To this very day, Lido does all his own production and writing; a true one-man-band. He also does alot of remixes and production for other artists. His debut album "Pretty Girls & Grey Sweaters" is to be released on Universal Music Norway on February 3rd 2012.

Heartbreak In The Club
LidoLido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bottled emotions, pour up some life
Stir it up, I'll be allright
Grab a soul, hold on tight
Out here searching for a distraction
And it's so quiet in the mist of all this action
Ah, drop hit me like an earthquake, I really think I like this wall
In a labyrinth trying to find myself, and I found you
That will make this moment last forever
Man I wish they'd made me blind
I black out
She broke my heart in the club
End of the world, end of the week
Tell a DJ put that thing on repeat
Dance until I can't stand on my feet
Then I fall for you again
Somebody gotta rescue me
Out here feeling like a refugee
Should have stayed home
Should have let you be
What you are, but you is something else than I pictured
And I can't feel a thing, I can't feel a thing
No lie, no lie, I can't feel a thing
Put that on everything
And I'm drowning, I'm drowning
Her eyes gleaming from a far
And she surrounded, surrounded
Like paparazzi on a star
You popped out of the dark with somebody who is not me
Trying to hide in the smoke, but you spotted me You see the universe is so small, you got me
Give me that potion, so I can drown in a sea of strangers
Give me that ocean of life with no control
Give me those strobes that make everything go slow motion
Give me that bass, so I can let it go
The song "Heartbreak in the Club" by LidoLido is a slow and sentimental reflection on the aftermath of a painful heartbreak experienced by the artist in the throbbing and flashing environment of the nightclub. The artist describes a scenario where he is searching for a distraction from his feelings of heartache, accompanied by bottled emotions that he tries to numb with the help of some life-inspiring drinks. As he searches for a way out of his emotional turmoil, he comes across someone new, someone who he believes can provide a way out of this emotional labyrinth.
The artist's emotional state is then contrasted with the vibrant and pulsating environment of the nightclub. He references how the strobe lights and the energy of the crowd can slow down time and make the moments last forever. However, he also expresses his wish to be blind, which can be interpreted to mean that he is overwhelmed by the intensity of his emotions and the surrounding environment.
The chorus of the song, "She broke my heart in the club," symbolizes the artist's realization that the cause of his heartbreak was not only the result of his relationship ending but also the environment that he found himself in. Overall, "Heartbreak in the Club" explores the interplay between heartache and the stimulation of the nightclub's environment, leaving the listener feeling a mixture of emotions.
