Asbjørn is a popstar unlike any other.
In 2012 he starts his own label - at only 19 years of age - to keep creative control
and gains more than 8 million views on his visionary interconnected music videos.
His genre-busting pop receives praise from Lykke Li as well as Denmarks biggest female rapper, Tessa, who invites him on as feature on 2022-single “Farver”.
He’s on tastemaker-blogs like DIY Magazine, The Line of Best Fit and Highsnobiety
and Germany’s Next Top Model presents his songs on prime time national TV.
Even with a tour schedule of major festivals and headliner concerts, he still manages to play more than 50 concerts a’ year in high schools and talk to the teenagers about sexuality and identity freedom. You get the picture…
The DNA of Danish pop-rebel Asbjørn is unconventional; an indie-darling with a wildcard to the pop-mainstream. “Friction is freedom”, in his own words. “As a kid, my parents would put on classical, folk and world music in the morning and when I came home from school, I’d make choreographies to Destiny’s Child, Britney and Michael Jackson.” Underneath the surface of his beautifully crafted melodies the friction unravels in a plethora of polyrhythms and playful unpredictability, urging music-journalists to call him “a modern critics’ wet dream”, “an ode to all those who don’t fit in” and “much needed CPR to a genre at risk of losing its edge”.
Asbjørn’s latest LP Boyology (2022) included collaborations with PC Music’s Danny L Harle (Charli XCX, Caroline Polacheck, Dua Lipa) and Planningtorock (Lady Gaga, Robyn, Romy). His fourth album is set for release in 2024 and the first single He’s Dancing So Well (I’m Better) is out on April 11.
