Stella Adee

Genre: Country
Country artist Stella Adee from Dalarna has always had the dream of becoming an artist. Even as a child, she loved Shania Twain, but over the years her taste in music has shifted. It was during a trip to the United States in 2019 that her love for country music was ignited again, and in the summer of 2020, she wrote her first country song, "Face the Music", which was released the following year. The song, a real dance favorite, was played on P4 Dalarna where Stella was named Dala artist of the week.
Later that year, she wrote the love song "I've Been Dreaming," which was released in 2023 and played on the Swedish channel Go Country. In December 2023, Stella received an offer to sign with a record label, and in 2024 she is busy with new songs and several live gigs both in Sweden and Norway. Inspired by modern country, Stella loves to sing songs by Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs with her live band.

Erika Jonsson
Sweden
Genre: Country
Erika Jonsson, 33-year-old country artist from the Värmland forests, is a genuine and unique voice on the Nordic music scene. Her love for music began early, shaped by a childhood where she had to accompany her mother on dance nights out in the Värmland forests. It was there, amidst dancing people and live bands, that Erika realized that music was real – a part of life, not just something you heard on the radio. Those evenings, filled with rhythms and joie de vivre, were the start of a lifelong passion for music.
But Erika is more than just an artist. When the pandemic hit and the world stopped, she got behind the wheel of a truck. Driving a truck became a way for her to keep busy, but also a part of her identity. This dual reality – the performer on stage and the professional driver on the roads – gives her a down-to-earth and authentic personality that few can match. Erika is someone who lives what she sings about.
In the past she has sung in both Swedish and English, but in recent years she has chosen to deepen her expression in Swedish, where she really comes into her own. She is now in the midst of recording an album entirely in Swedish, where her personal stories and feelings are given new life in a sound that combines country tradition with Swedish storytelling.
Erika's presence on stage, whether on a small rural stage or at large festivals in Sweden and Norway, shows that she is a force to be reckoned with. Her background - from the dance floors in the forest to the roads and the stages - makes her a fascinating story in itself. She is a personality who goes her own way, an artist who breaks norms and a woman who knows what it is like to live both the simple and the big life.
Northlake Shivers
Sweden
Genre: Country
The two childhood friends Linus Andersson and Ronnie Aronsson from Kopparberg, Sweden, had no idea what was to come when they started posting country music covers on social media. 4 months and 1.6 million views later the guys found themselves collaborating with an artist team and recording songs from American songwriters, as well as filling up their booking calendar.
Raised in a small town village out in the woods of Sweden, where hunting, fishing and the calm, simple country life is central, Northlake Shivers has created a unique country sound that reflects the laid back attitude of their upbringing. Drawing inspiration from artists like Luke Combs, Zach Brown Band and the traditional Brooks N´ Dunn, the guys promises to deliver a fresh, relatable and down to earth take on the modern country music scene.
