DeepFrost is a music songwriting & production team operating in the pop, r and b and hiphop genres. The team is based in the Scandinavian city of Trondheim, Norway. Team members are Thomas J. Heyerdahl, Jan "Janski, Lindvaag and Vegard Strand.
Lindvaag and Heyerdahl originally started working together when their dance-pop group Di-Mico (with two additional members Linda Gaathje and Mary Elin Mellemseter) signed with the Norwegian branch of Polygram Records (later Universal Music). Di-Mico released a number of singles, and their debut single entered the Norwegian single charts at #10.
When Di-Mico split in 1999, Heyerdahl went on to form the pop-group ICE together with Mellemseter. Gaathje subsequently left the music industry, while Lindvaag continued on as a writer and a producer.
Heyerdahl and Lindvaag started working together as writers and producers under the name DeepFrost in the fall of 2003. The first project the new company produced was the last single from Heyerdahl's project ICE, a song called "Gorgeous". The team's first major success came in 2005 when they got a #1 in The Netherlands with the Dutch pop-goup Chipz. 2006 also brought the opportunity to remix Stevie Wonder's single "So What The Fuss", requested by Universal Music (Holland).
At the end of 2006 the production team was strengthened with the addition of Vegard Strand. The production team has recently expanded with three new members: Pål Gätzschmann, Christian Meland and Johnny Iversen, while moving into a new studio location, previously home to the Stargate production team.
