Ringmasters is the Barbershop Harmony Society's 2012 International Quartet Champion and 2008 International Collegiate Quartet Champion. Hailing from Stockholm Sweden and members of SNOBS, they are also the first affilate quartet to ever win the International Quartet Championship and the second affiliate to ever win the International Collegiate Championship.

They brought a young, fresh, European vibe to the world of barbershop and gained many fans in the process. In 2014, the Ringmasters were awarded the Olle Nyman Memorial Award. In 2018 Didier Linder replaced Martin Wahlgren as bass and they continue to perform all across the globe singing a mixed repertoire of choral,a cappella and barbershop music.
