Magnus Åserud Skylstad (born 17 June 1983) is a Norwegian musician and record producer from Bergen. He began playing drums at around the age of fifteen years old. He currently is an affiliate of fellow Norwegian and singer-songwriter Aurora and performs as a percussionist and drummer for her live band.[2]

When he met her, he said "My manager Geir Luedy asked me if I could do a session with a young woman, we booked the studio and we recorded 5 or 6 of their songs with just the vocals and piano. I selected one of the songs I wanted to work with. This song was 'Runaway'. She immediately impressed me."[citation needed]

He has played drums for ORBO & The Longshots, William Hut, Josefin Winther, November Homecoming, Monica Heldal, Line Dybedal, Norwegian Tiger, Silja Sol and Marie Klåpbakken.
