Twelve new artists added to the by:Larm program

2021
A dozen new additions to the sound of the future

BIANCA

She’s only 18 years old, but Bianca is already reaching for the stars in the spectrum of Norwegian pop. As soon as the music found her, she quit school and never looked back. It turned out to be a wise choice. Bianca was one of the NRK Urørt finalists in 2020, then named Raw B and featuring the tune «Cold As Ice».

CLARISSA CONNELLY

Clarissa Connelly originally hails from Fife in Scotland, but moved as a child to her mother’s homeland of Denmark. It’s from the latter country’s nature and history that Connelly primarily draws inspiration, along with modern influences like Kate Bush, Enya, Mike Oldfield and Joni Mitchell.

DRAGONGIRL

Blending club music, experimental compositions and performance art, the Aarhus-based dragongirl has been steadily building momentum since 2019’s Once More With Feeling, which received a great response from both Norwegian national radio and underground magazines.

ERIKA DE CASIER

Erika de Casier is a true slow burner. Her self-released debut album Essentials came out in 2019 and became a word-of-mouth favorite all over the Internet. Eventually, everyone wanted a piece of this Copenhagen-based retrofuturist.

GABIFUEGO

GABIFUEGO – aka Norwegian-Chilean Gabriel Nystad Muñoz – made a name for himself as the heartthrob live guitarist of indie pop sensation boy pablo, but over the past year he’s tallied up millions of streams as a solo artist with a very different vibe.

JÁNA

JÁNA learned to play guitar and began to write songs in her parents’ garage at the age of nine, and continued to hone her songwriting and production skills through studying in Stockholm, London and at the renowned songwriting school Musikmakarna in northern Sweden. Her debut single “Wild Roses” was released in April 2020, which was followed less than a year later by a Swedish Grammy nomination for “Best R&B”.

LUZ

The Ireland-based half-Argentinian Luz Corrigan has made her mark on the music scene in the past year. Barely 19 years old, her first two singles have still reached over nine million streams across platforms, all the while receiving praise and support from musicians like Ed Sheeran, Sigrid, Julia Michaels and Lewis Capaldi, to name a few.

MIMI WEBB

Originally hailing from Canterbury, the pop singer-songwriter Mimi Webb turns up the volume on every emotion with skyscraping runs and open-heart honesty. Inspired by the likes of Amy Winehouse, Emelie Sandé, and Sam Smith, she started writing songs of her own at 13 years old in diaries before eventually learning guitar. Around the same time, she enrolled in The BRIT School—known for alumni such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, Jessie J, and more.

POiSON ANNA

Sure, she’s worked with the likes of A$AP Rocky and Dean Blunt, but POiSON ANNA is a force of nature to behold in her own right – one of the most singular and uncompromising British voices to emerge as of late.

SEBASTIAN ZALO

Sebastian Zalo quit school at 18 years old to make music. In his music, he displays a rare affinity for combining themes of confidence with uncertainty. In 2020 he was nominated for a P3 Gull award as newcomer of the year, and won the Norwegian Grammy for breakthrough of the year.

STORKEN

The 27 year old DJ and producer Storken grew up as a countryside boy raised in a family of musicians under the deep influence of 80s artists such as Phil Collins, Queen and Tina Turner. A disco producer with one foot in Stockholm and the other in the Swedish hills.

VILDE TUV

Five years have passed since the last album from Vilde Tuv, and seven years since her last by:Larm appearance. On her new album Melting Songs, everything and nothing is different. While the debut D’meg consisted of guitars, drums and vocals, all performed by the one-woman-band Vilde, the new album is a strange concoction of trance and flutes. It’s still Vilde, though – undoubtedly. Her signature soundscape has a lot of references, but is nonetheless her own.
