Biography

Ronni began playing guitar at the age of 12, and started producing at 18. It was also around that time that he co-founded the Copenhagen-based music collective Boom Clap Bachelors together with Robin Hannibal.[7] Their track, Tiden Flyver, later got sampled by Kendrick Lamar on his track "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe".

Vindahls first international appearance was in 2008, when Gilles Peterson released the Boom Clap Bachelor's track "Combiner" – produced, co- written and performed by Vindahl – on his compilation Brownswood Bubblers. vol. 2 on Gilles Peterson's own record label Brownswood. Peterson also put "Combinér" in rotation on his weekly radio show on BBC1, which gave Vindahl the exposure needed to take his career to the next level.

Upon meeting her in 2012, Vindahl started working with MØ, and solely produced and co-wrote her EP Bikini Daze the same year. The Line of Best Fit praised the EP, giving it a 8/10 score and calling it "sensational".[8]

The collaboration with MØ continued on her debut album, No Mythologies to Follow, which was released in 2014. The album, which was co-written, produced and also executively produced by Vindahl, was well received by music critics and won two Danish Gaffa Awards for best pop album and Hit of the year.[9] Between 2012 and 2014 Vindahl also toured with MØ, playing live guitar.[10]

In 2011, Vindahl released the first album under his own name, entitled Serendipity. The title refers to term used in science use to describe when one finds something that wasn't intended. Alan Brown at Soul Seduction praised the album, calling it "Drop dead gorgeous like the most beautiful girl you've ever met!".[11]

In 2015, Vindahl won a Danish Critics Award as best writer, and was also nominated in the best producer-category. The same year, he also won two Danish Writer's Awards for both best pop writer as well as international breakthrough.[12]
