Biographie Bertine Zetlitz & Bugge Wesseltoft
Bertine Zetlitz
Scandinavian pop singer Bertine Zetlitz is a well-known artist in Europe who makes catchy disco-influenced dance-pop with a slightly dark, ironic edge. Involved in music from a young age, Zetlitz began writing music just prior to her teens and ultimately studied classical music at college. After graduating, she began pursuing a career in pop music and eventually released her debut album, Morbid Late Night Show, in 1998. Beautiful So Far followed in 2000, featuring production by famed Cardigans producer Tore Johansson. Since that time Zetlitz has released a handful of albums, including Rollerskating in 2004, My Italian Greyhound in 2006, and Electric Feet in 2012. In 2015, Zetlitz released her seventh, studio album, Tikamp, which balanced her love of both electro and acoustic pop. Included on the album was the single "Sett At Vi Sier Det Sånn," which featured the Dum Dum Boys' Prepple Houmb.
Bugge Wesseltoft
“There is no musician or artist in the world that is not inspired by others. However, the important thing is to let inspiration develop, to work towards finding a unique means of personal expression.
This is what I believe and is what I have always tried to achieve … to find my own thing, my own voice. I dont want to be another carbon copy of any great musician, past or present: I don’t see the point of that. There have been so many good things done before, but one must find ones own sound.”
Since the early 1990´s Bugge Wesseltoft has made an impressive, truly post-modern transistion from his ECM nordic jazz traditions. Playing and recording together with the likes of Jan Garbarek, Sidsel Endresen, Terje Rypdal, Nils Petter Molvaer, Jon Eberson to forming his own innovative New Conception Of Jazz group and exquisite label “Jazzland Recordings”.
Wesseltoft is multi-decorated with critics prizes for creating a unique, fresh blend of “modern jazz”.
