Danish Music Award Nominees Announced

The Danish Music Awards 2013 is taking place at Forum Copenhagen, on the 9th November 2013. Two artists we are particularly happy for are Quadron and Barbara Moleko.

The Danish duo Quadron, Robin Hannibal and Coco O, are naturally attracting a lot of attention. Since the release of their second album “Avalanche” in 2013 they have received great reviews, a growing number of international TV appearances and finally even radio stations have embraced the electronic Soul group.

Also nominated is Barbara Moleko who, despite being eight months pregnant, gave a superb and energetic performance at the recent Scandinavian Soul festival in September. Her debut album Lykken Er earned a full 5 star rating from Scandinaviansoul.com and we’re happy to see her nominated too.
