The electropop duo Snö from Tromsø is a fresh addition to the pop scene in northern Norway. The two talented guys from Tromsø draw inspiration from the city’s proud electronic music tradition and ride the wave of northern Norwegian pop that has swept the country in recent years.

On October 7, 2016, they released the single “Krig”, which really put Snö on the map. “Krig” debuted as the “Song of the Week” on P3, and was played in every program on the channel for a whole week. They were also named “Ukas Urørt” (Unsigned Artist of the Week) and featured on P1’s B-list.

With lyrics about life, death, love, and the sea, Martin Hotvedt and Hallvar Agersborg aim to create energetic pop music with substance. The band has been around since 2014 and has performed at events like RakettNatt Klubb in 2015, Rock mot Rus, Trænafestivalen, and P3-aksjonen in 2016. On December 2, 2016, they held their first independent concert at Studentsamfunnet Driv in Tromsø, and the concert was sold out in advance.

In 2022, they made a comeback with the song “Lofoten i sommer” (Lofoten in Summer), which received recognition on NRK P1 and the Spotify playlist “Sommersol” (Summer Sun). They are now ready to release a series of singles before their debut album comes out in spring 2024.

Pasha is truly one of the most exciting hip-hop acts emerging from Norway’s rap-scene. Becoming an established artist on the Scandinavian hip hop scene, Pasha has spent the pre-covid years selling out shows while charting on national radio and gaining solid attention from some of Norway’s most prominent media. However, the artist is now gaining exposure far outside of his home country, adding official soundtracks to Netflix movies, getting highlighted by Ebro on Beats 1 Radio and live performances in Los Angeles and Austin to his resume. The Oslo- based rapper has been spreading his love through about 40 shows a year across Northern Europe, including SPOT festival in Denmark and the prominent Apple Tree Garden Festival in Germany. Simultaneously, Pasha’s track “Throw A Party” was handpicked by the director of the Netflix movie “Battle” to feature as the official soundtrack, and has now reached millions around the globe.

Blending nostalgic 90’s vibes with quirky, playful and funky hip-hop, the young artist stood out from his peers and was asked to support international acts such as Onyx and Dj Premiere as a teenager. Jumping on every live opportunity he got, the iconic rapper quickly became notorious for his explosive live shows and his unique talent as an entertainer. Even being featured in NME’s list of the world’s most promising talents in 2017 became a turning point: “As Scandinavia leads the pop assault on the charts worldwide–Pasha is spearheading the growing rapscene coming form Northern Europe”–NME, and gaining attention from Highsnobiety, Clash Magazine and Rap Nation while charting on national radio.

While building a hype through notorious live performances, Pasha released singles such as Around The Area, Colorblind and Tie-Dye, gaining traction on YouTube channels such as such as Rap City, The Ride Channel and Funky Panda, as well as securing a spots at X GAMES in Oslo’s line up and SXSW in 2019.

Fast forward to 2023, where Pasha has spent a lot of time in his studio during Covid, resulting in the album «Bad Trips» in 2022, and now ongoing releases with Coucheron and G.O.L ll.
