AMALIE SILDNES GEDDE-DAHL

Som artist har jeg som mål om å være et dykk under overflatå i et ellers overfladisk samfunn, og lager ektefølte låter med fokus på tekst. Jeg ga ut min første EP for 1 år siden, og er i gang med å spille inn mer musikk. Jeg elsker å være med på songexpo og utfordre meg i andre sjangere, og samarbeide med flinke artister og produsenter.

AMALIE WIKMARK

Amalie Wikmark er artist og låtskriver fra Trondheim, og den første jenta i Norge som synger R&B-pop på trøndersk dialekt. Hun er også kjent som den ene halvdelen av R&B-duoen Ama x Vic, som allerede har etablert seg som et spennende, up-and-coming prosjekt.

Som soloartist utvikler Amalie et særegent uttrykk i skjæringspunktet mellom Y2K-pop og R&B. Med luftig, detaljrik vokal, lekne harmonier og moderne produksjon skaper hun musikk som balanserer det nostalgiske og det nyskapende. Tekstene er ærlige og relaterbare, og beveger seg mellom personlig liv, girlhood, selvtillit og en dråpe selvironi. Amalie tør å være messy, ekte og uforglemmelig.

Musikken hennes kan føles som å bli pakket inn i en myk pelskåpe, før den plutselig drar deg med ut på dansegulvet.

Amalie debuterte nylig som soloartist med singelen «om du vil», en vokalfokusert, selvsikker og leken låt med emosjonell dybde og et hook som setter seg fra første refreng. Låten fikk mye oppmerksomhet, blant annet cover på Spotify-spillelisten Made in Norway, god plassering på Flammer, New Music Friday og Ny Pop, samt positiv omtale i presse, anbefaling fra Urørt og flere radiointervjuer.

KAJA SAKSVIK

Hi! I'm Kaja! I'm a Norwegian artist, vocalist, and topliner with a love for pop, R&B, and house.

The part I enjoy most is being in the studio with other creative people. I love when someone plays a chord progression and melodies just start flowing. I'm usually the one throwing out hook ideas, experimenting with vocal lines, and seeing how far we can push an idea. I enjoy trying different sounds with my voice and I'm always up for a challenge.

Growing up in theatre and later studying performing arts in Copenhagen and Los Angeles taught me how much emotion and storytelling matter, and that naturally carries over into my music. I want the songs I'm part of to leave people feeling stronger and more connected to themselves.

Artists like Rihanna and Tate McRae inspire me, but I also have a soulful, jazz-influenced voice that I love bringing into modern pop. I think that contrast gives my music its own identity.
