JOHNSON
It true! Johnson wants to "Kig Forbi"! One of the biggest Danish hip-hop stars of the 00s, is rolling out this spring on a Greatest Hits Tour, when Johnson will tour the country's 3 largest cities!
Marc Johnson started his career in the local youth club in Aarhus, where he started rapping in the company of Liam and Ausamah – better known as L.O.C. and U$O. Together they went by the name B.A.N.G.E.R.S. After this, under his own name, he dominated the Danish charts in the 00s with tracks such as "Nasty", "Bawler Hele Dagen" and "Teriyaki". With his West Coast-inspired rap and catchy phrases, Johnson became one of the first rappers in Denmark to achieve real star status.
Take a trip down Memory Lane, bring your best hand signs and get a "Sjus" to an energetic and hit-packed show!
SPEEDY
Speedy presents the new sound from Aarhus which is incredibly catchy, with a slice of pop, Afro music and trap. Despite his few years in the business, Speedy has already worked with some of the most respected musicians in the country. Among other things he also made different features abroad. We look forward to surprising you!
SMETANA
Nikolaj "SMETANA" is a 20-year-old rapper from northern Aarhus. He has been rapping for almost 4 years and is going all in on the Danish rap scene. "SMETANA" has faced a lot of adversity in life and fought a war with his mind. He has finally found his way out through music and uses it as a way to speak to people, which he wouldn't trade for anything else in the world. One thing everyone should know about “SMETANA” is that he does not hold back. He raps about everything from glamorous days of parties and ladies to deep rap about depression and suicidal thoughts.
"SMETANA" is known locally for his fantastic energy and cool attitude on stage. So come along on the journey and get an insight into his bad days, but also his good ones. Come and contribute to the vibe and remember the good mood!
MIA MIAKY
The singer and not least the rapper Mia Miaky, will take you on a musical journey where anything can happen. Whether she surprises you with a song about society and life as a woman in 2024, or whether she makes you jump in your dancing shoes to a song about youth and the freedom it is to be yourself. In both her songwriting and performance, Mia Miaky has managed to create a sound universe that reflects her own authentic voice and personality. Her songs exude honesty and emotion, making them both engrossing and memorable. Anything can happen, so have fun!
TT
If you think that the youth is interested in nothing but TikToks and city trips.. If you think that rap music these days is only about the pursuit of sex and material goods... Then you are wrong! And TT is a living, shining example of that. With her only 21 summers, she is a representative of a new generation of young people with attitudes towards the society around them. The topics in the lyrics range from discrimination and structural racism to today's ideals of beauty, to songs about enjoying life and loving yourself. The productions, which she typically makes herself, can best be described as dusty boom-bap inspired hip-hop beats that evoke memories of 90s New York.
So look forward to being visited by a young, hard-hitting rapper with a lot on her mind!
ALIA
A girl with a lot hidden, full of energy... Her songs are not just songs - each one has a special place in the heart... A unique musical experience.
BENDTSEN
Bendtsen is a rapper/singer from Aarhus N. He is completely new to the game and does things his own way. Bendtsen has been rapping for two years and has just started to move into pop music which he is looking forward to showing off!
CLARSYN
Clarsyn, a shining star in the pop musical firmament, brings fresh energy and unique ear hooks, with her music beaming with catchiness and originality. With a mix of pop sound and catchy melodies, Clarsyn manages to create songs that keep playing in your head and bring a smile to your face. Her talented voice and charismatic appearance make her a feast to experience live. So keep an eye on Clarsyn. The party doesn't stop yet!
