Jacob Holm

Known first for his music, he is a Norwegian guitarist, composer, and producer best known as the main songwriter in White Willow and The Opium Cartel. He also co-runs Termo Records and has worked in recording and mixing, giving him a strong practical background in the music world.

That experience carries naturally into his writing. He has written books on artists including Blue Öyster Cult and Toto, and publisher and bookseller pages describe him as a journalist as well as a musician. His nonfiction stands out for combining fan-level enthusiasm with the perspective of someone who has spent years making records himself.

For audiobook listeners, that means an author who can make rock history feel vivid and approachable. His work is a good fit for anyone who likes music criticism that is informed, curious, and closely connected to the sound and craft of the albums it explores.
