BERNHOFT
Gifted and consummate guitarist, songwriter, artist and all-round likeable guy from just north of Oslo, Norway. A stylish, curious, whip-smart and inquisitive gentleman with a distinctive and timeless sound. A critically acclaimed, award winning audience favourite with a rock-solid discography and a decade worth of sold-out tours to his name.
You may have first come across a young Jarle as lead singer of rock power quartet Span. He lived in North London where he enjoyed critical acclaim and a cult following. After they disbanded in 2005, he went solo, and soul, as Bernhoft. He employed live looping techniques, using a loop pedal to layer his vocals and instrumental parts, creating intricate and dynamic arrangements. The single "C'mon Talk," became a viral sensation showcasing this, earning Bernhoft millions of views on YouTube and introducing him to a global audience. This culminated in the international success of ‘Islander’ (2014), an album that explored themes of identity and self-discovery, blending elements of folk, pop, and R&B.
The album received critical acclaim and further solidified Bernhoft's reputation as a musical innovator. He became the first non-American to be nominated for the Best R&B Album Grammy.
ALEXANDRA THE AUTHOR
Meet Alexandra Henry, a musical maven hailing from upstate NY, now making waves in Santa Cruz, California. As the soulful voice behind two mesmerizing albums, Alexandra is set to drop the eagerly anticipated second chapter of "Heavy 2" on April 3, 2024, followed by the climactic last chapter of "Heavy Chapter 1" on January 1, 2025 – a trilogy that showcases her musical prowess.

Her musical journey, rooted in the church choir and a household filled with the melodies of life, has evolved into a genre-defying fusion of jazz, classical, soul, folk, blues, and hip hop influences. Alexandra's big raspy voice, cultivated from birth, resonates with grace and authenticity, drawing listeners into a warm and welcoming experience.
