  "summary": "Oslo's music scene is quietly thriving, despite its lack of global trendsetting attention compared to nearby cities like Copenhagen and Berlin. The Norwegian capital's idyllic setting, with its inlets, wild forests, ski jumps, and quirky statues, belies a vibrant underground music scene. Local figures like model-turned-finder Carmen Maria Hillestad, who moved abroad at 17 but returned later, have contributed to the city's unique musical identity. DJs from New York and London, as well as Norwegian artists like Smerz, Jenny Hval, André Bratten, Eivind Lønning, Streifenjunko, and Anja Lauvdal, are part of a genre-blurring circuit that is gaining traction.",
