Aleksander Vinter, better known by his alias Savant (also Blanco, formerly Vinter in Hollywood, Vinter in Vegas and others), is a Norwegian producer, singer and DJ.

In 2009, he released his debut album, “Outbreak”, under the Vinter in Hollywood alias. Outbreak was nominated in the electronic music category for the 2009 Norwegian Grammy Awards.

Vinter signed with SectionZ Records in 2010 and released “Mamachine” under the alias Vinter in Vegas and in 2011, “Ninür” under Savant.

In 2013, his following increased as he embarked on two North American tours. Between tours he released the album “Cult” and provided music for the D-Pad Studio game Savant – Ascent. “Orakel "was released on December 11, 2013 and reached the #3 spot on the iTunes Dance charts in the US.

In 2014, Savant released “Protos”, which reached #24 on the North American iTunes Pop charts and #1 on the Bandcamp Electronica and Overall charts. Later that year, on December 13, 2014, “Zion” was released, peaking at #2 on the holiday iTunes Dance chart in the US. “Zion” also reached #19 on the Billboard Dance chart and #24 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

His album “Invasion” was released in January 2015, and led deadmau5 to call Savant “the change that electronic dance music needs”.

In 2016 Vinter releases the “Bajo EP” under the Blanco alias and later that year “Vybz” again under Savant.
