Wiese first entered the public scene in 2004 through the single 'Me e Viking' which was first performed in the opening ceremony of Viking Stadion, 1 May 2004. This performance made Wiese the first artist ever to perform at the Viking Stadion.[1][6][2] Since then, he has performed at a number of arenas, including the historic Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo.
