OSCAAL won the yoik class of the 2025 Sámi Grand Prix with "Sávrrimus". This was the first time he had performed on stage as a solo artist.[1][2] While he did not receive the most points from the professional jury, he received 42 points from the televote, which resulted in him winning the yoik class of the competition.[3]

OSCAAL was a songwriter in the 2021 Sámi Grand Prix for song finalist Ingá Máiiá Blind.[4] In 2009, he performed a drum number during the intermission of the Sámi Grand Prix with the Sámi actor Gard Emil Elvenes [nb]. The duo also participated in the third season of Norske Talenter in 2010 where they made it all the way to the live broadcasts and placed amongst the top 40.[5]

Between 2012–2025, Dunfjell was the editor-in-chief of the Sami youth magazine Š.[6]
