Ep.012: Loek & Sam Fischer
Saison 1 · Épisode 12
mercredi 25 juin 2025 • Durée 57:36
In this heartfelt episode of The Weekly Beat with Matoma, a transcontinental collaboration takes center stage as Matoma invites Australian singer-songwriter Sam Fischer and UK-based rising producer Loek to Oslo. The episode traces the origins of a powerful demo Sam and Loek sent remotely — a song so honest and emotionally resonant that Matoma knew it couldn’t be finished over email. He flew both artists to Norway to complete it together, marking the first time the trio met in person. What followed was an intimate creative journey rooted in vulnerability, purpose, and shared musical instincts.
For Matoma, the collaboration held personal gravity. As he prepares to marry the love of his life later this year, the themes of the song — love, reflection, and emotional courage — hit especially close to home. In the studio, the three artists pour their full selves into crafting a track that feels timeless and human. Along the way, they discuss fame, burnout, growth, and what it means to make music that speaks directly to the heart.
The song we made "Made For You" comes out Friday June 27th, listen here.

Ep.011: Michelle Ullestad
Saison 1 · Épisode 11
mercredi 18 juin 2025 • Durée 35:54
In this deeply emotional and revealing episode of The Weekly Beat, Matoma is joined by Norwegian singer-songwriter Michelle Ullestad, whose raw honesty and resilience drive one of the most personal conversations of the series. Michelle opens up about her journey from post-partum depression and a stay in a mental health facility to finding salvation through songwriting. They reflect on how music can be both a mirror and a lifeline, and how Ullestad’s commitment to authenticity is not only healing herself — but building a fanbase of young people who see themselves in her story.
The episode also tracks her evolution into what she calls her “Empress version” — a more mature, empowered self shaped by motherhood, creative self-discovery, and learning to ask for help. Matoma and Michelle collaborate on a bilingual song that bridges Norwegian and English, crafted from a mutual respect for emotional storytelling and melody as a universal language. It’s a celebration of vulnerability, growth, and artistic courage.

Ep.007: Nils Bech
Saison 1 · Épisode 7
mercredi 21 mai 2025 • Durée 53:17
In this emotionally rich episode of The Weekly Beat, Matoma welcomes revered Norwegian singer Nils Bech into his world for a candid conversation and studio session. From discussing childhood challenges growing up gay in a conservative village, to the cathartic power of performance, Nils shares a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and resilience. He opens up about being bullied, the impact of his mother’s death, and how expressing his identity through music gave him a voice in a society that once stifled it. His hit rendition of “O Holy Night” for Skam became a cultural moment, not just musically, but socially, empowering LGBTQ+ youth across Scandinavia.
As the conversation unfolds, Matoma and Nils dive into the philosophy behind performance, vulnerability, and authenticity. Nils discusses his transition from classical opera to emotionally-driven pop, explaining how his artistic path was shaped not by fame, but by truth. They reflect on identity, public expectations, and the healing nature of music, ultimately deciding to co-create an emotional, melancholic house track that encapsulates both artistic freedom and personal truth. The episode is an exploration of voice — both literal and symbolic — and a testament to the power of staying true to oneself in art and life.
The song we made "Pain Relief" comes out Friday May 23rd, listen here.

Ep.006: Brotha Løve (Surprise Guest Challenge)
Saison 1 · Épisode 6
mercredi 14 mai 2025 • Durée 59:09
In this special “Surprise Guest Challenge” episode of The Weekly Beat with Matoma, rather than diving into the studio with a professional songwriter or artist, Matoma is put on the spot with a surprise guest who comes equipped with a “challenge” for a song they should make together. In his first ever challenge, Tom is surprised by his brother Dan (aka Brotha Løve), for what becomes a deeply nostalgic and emotionally rich conversation about music, brotherhood, and the journey from small-town Norway to international stages. What begins as a playful twist to the format quickly evolves into a heartfelt exchange, covering everything from their shared upbringing surrounded by nature, to the chaotic rise of Matoma’s career and Dan’s grounding presence throughout. Together, they reflect on childhood dreams, failed artist names like “Subhero,” the origin of the name “Matoma,” and the early days of SoundCloud hustle that led to viral success.
The episode dives into deeply personal territory as the brothers recount tour memories, emotional turning points, and the challenges of balancing fame with authenticity. Matoma opens up about his anxiety before his first ever tour, the crushing weight of early media criticism, and how Dan’s unwavering support helped him persevere. They talk about creative sparks, soulfulness in music, and the value of raw emotion over technical perfection. The episode ends on a joyful note with the two planning to channel their past into a nostalgic EDM track—rooted in their shared love for 2010s electronic anthems and Norwegian forest mysticism.
The song we made "Opnið Valgrind" comes out Friday May 16th, listen here.
