Bendik
With her recognizable nerve, Silje Halstensen, known as Bendik, has established herself as a distinctive and uncompromising voice in Norwegian music. Since her debut in 2012, she has, with raw passion, unprocessed lyrics and always uplifting productions, walked her lifeline through everything from indie rock to synthpop – and captivated audiences at festivals such as Roskilde, Øya and Bergenfest. Whether on albums, radio or from the edge of the stage, the “Perfekt” singer has made her music a place for both heartache and hope.
