Blix is a graduate of the Jazz Program at Trondheim Musikkonservatorium (1988).[3] He was first recognized as trombonist in the band "Jazz i Nord" together with Jørn Øien (piano), Konrad Kaspersen (double bass) and Trond Sverre Hansen (drums) releasing the album Song, Fall Soft featuring Marit Sandvik (vocals) in 1997. He has led the trio "Pentateuch" expanding to the quartet "Blix Band" in 1990. They released the album På en lyserød sky (1997), including Niels Præstholm (double bass), Nils-Olav Johansen (guitar) and Tor Haugerud (drums). It was followed up with the album Texas (1998), where Didrik Ingvaldsen contributed on trumpet. He toured in the period 1999–2003 together with the trumpeter Gustavo Bergalli, within the band "Blix/Bergalli Group" comprising additional Jan Gunnar Hoff (piano), Sigurd Ulveseth (bass) and Magnus Gran (drums).[4]
In 2002 we find Blix in a duo "Tromsø Kunstforsyning" performing contemporary music together with the celloist Bernt Simen Lund documented on the album Tur (2009). Otherwise, he has participated on the Tromsø elektronika-miljø scene, with such as Gaute Barlindhaug (alias "Kolar Goi") (Kolar Goi, 2003).
