Zikai
Grammy winning and gold certified artist and songwriter Zikai is Sweden’s next music export- phenomena. Zikai has already been appointed “Artist of the future” by Swedish radio station P3, collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry and released her debut EP for which she received a Swedish Grammy in the category “Soul / R&B”.
Zikai has evolved interest in her songwriting and writes songs for herself and many other artists, and her writing has earned her a Gold certification in Denmark. Her widescreen blend of R&B, soul and pop with a unique melody language and honest lyrics makes Zikai one of Sweden’s most interesting songwriters and artists right now.
Within the last year she has performed her music in front of millions of viewers on some of Sweden’s biggest television programs (‘Allsång på Skansen’, ‘Nyhetsmorgon’, ‘På Spåret’ and ‘Tolvslaget’). Also, she was nominated for “Rookie Artist of the Year” at Denniz Pop Awards 2020.

Bavè
Bavé’s music is best described as a genre bending melt of ALT-R&B and Indie/Alternative, with autobiographical lyrics that presents a world where real life and fairytales can be just as real as anything else. A sound born in the Swedish high-rises and truly unique to him and his co-producer Leo Goldmann.
Bavé sold out Stockholm venue Södra Teatern only two weeks after his self released Teron Records debut EP ‘In Vermouth’ hit the market. An EP reflecting euphoric moments of first love and summer nostalgia featured by Earmilk, Clash, Dopest & Odalisque.
First up from his upcoming debut album is the 2022 release ‘Who Got the Magic?’, a contemporary ALT-R&B and Indie Rock fusion drenched in distorted guitars, an arrogantly slow beat and his unique falsetto. This time collaborating with renowned Broken Int (Part of Deki Alem) and Erik Pousette (Grammy nominated for Hannes video ‘I Feel It’) for his visuals.
His childhood in the segregated Swedish suburb of Gottsunda, Uppsala was strongly influenced by exclusion, boredom, music, dance and an overprotective mother – who early on bought a computer for Bavé just to keep him out of trouble. The already music-loving teenager started using the computer to make mixtapes and burn CDs to his neighbors and cousins, with covers he drew by hand.

GERD
Swedish newcomer GERD made her big debut with the single Lies For A Liar, which has been hailed by critics both at home and internationally. The song premiered on Apple Music Radio 1 by Zane Lowe who described her as a unique fusion of Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Adele and Billie Eilish. Since then, GERD has received global support from Apple Music with 30+ playlists in over 150 countries.
Speaking about her newly dropped debut EP, GERD says ‘Everyone wants to be in it to win it, but not everyone can be a winner and I know for sure that I didn’t feel like a winner at the end of writing this EP. Therefor I named it – In It to Lose.”
SHY Martin
SHY Martin first burst onto the scene in 2016 as the featured artist and songwriter behind Mike Perry’s ‘The Ocean’ – a track that would go on to become one of her first Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum releases. Since this moment of clarity, SHY Martin has amassed more one billion streams globally via her catalog, which includes collaborations and writing duties alongside the likes of The Chainsmokers (All We Know), Kygo & Ellie Goulding (First Time) & Bebe Rexha (Not The One) .
With a who’s who discography of chart-raking hits to her name, SHY Martin took a significant focus on her solo presence for 2017, as demonstrated by breakthrough single “Good Together.” A marker for the values and tenacity of her sought-after writing and performance talents, such additional attributes as garnering the Grand Prize for International Success at the 2017 Denniz Pop Awards and Breakthrough of the Year at the Swedish Publishers Awards have signaled a much deserving spell of attention for the young and talented artist. With “The Ocean” grabbing the Spotify Prize for ‘Most Streamed Song of the Year’ at the back end of the year, her ongoing involvement in the Equalizer project, founded by Daniel Ek and Max Martin, demonstrates a firm commitment to evening the playing field for female talents in the music industry globally.

With ´Pumpin Blood´, NONONO fast became one of the fastest rising forces in Swedish pop music. With more than 2.000.000 singles sold, US tours alongside Twenty One Pilots and Foster the People and multi-platinum sales in Scandinavia.

Clara Mae
Swedish vocalist Clara Hagman was born in 1991. She developed an interest in music early in life, and by her teenage years she was competing in national singing competitions. In 2009, Hagman and another vocalist, Julia Williamson, were asked by Swedish mainstream pop legends Ace of Base to join the band, replacing founding members Jenny and Linn Berggren. Though Hagman completed one record with the band, 2010’s The Golden Ratio, her time in the group would be short-lived. A few years after joining, there was an abrupt halt to any communication from the founding members of the band, and Hagman and Williamson were left behind without a word as the re-formed Ace of Base silently disappeared. Hagman quickly got to work on solo material, taking the stage name Clara Mae in 2014 and slowly releasing a string of singles. Her debut single, “Changing Faces,” materialized that year, followed the next year by “Avalon.” In 2017 she returned with the piano-tinged electronic track “Strip,” and hinted at more new music of her own as well as collaborations with others soon to follow. In 2018, Hagman issued her debut EP, Sorry for Writing All the Songs About You.
