Haugland is known for using the bass as a melodic voice in dialogue with the rest of the band, and his compositions are full of swing and intelligent packaging. He is one of the most exciting young composers and bassists on the Nordic scene.
Guitar

In 2022, he was awarded the Erik Moseholm Prize, and in 2020, he also received the Tivoli Jazz Prize for his extraordinary artistic integrity and sonic presence.

In addition to his work in the jazz community, he is also a permanent member of Erran DD’s band, Drori Hansen’s Furniture. His ability to create a unique sound and tone, along with his deep musical understanding, makes him a leading figure in Danish jazz.
