Per Fredrik Åsly, better known as PelleK (born Sandefjord, 21 December 1986) is a Norwegian singer, songwriter, actor, and YouTuber.

In April 2016, the British power metal band DragonForce, had embarked on the "Killer Elite World Tour" to support the release of a new double CD of the band's greatest hits. However in July 2016 DragonForce issued a statement on the health status of their singer Marc Hudson, revealing he had been signed off by doctors and was unable to perform at the Metal Days Festival in Slovenia and the Benatska! Festival in the Czech Republic. PelleK was the stand in vocalist for these two shows.[7]

In 2022, Åsly performed the opening song of the anime Skeleton Knight in Another World titled Ah, My Romantic Road.[8]
