Jesper Borgen hails from a working class area in the north-eastern part of Oslo, Norway, raised by two musically proficient parents. His father is a musician, while his mother is a songwriter.
Not unlike most kids, he got a keyboard at the age of 7 and came across his first - broken - guitar in a dumpster at the age of 10.
He turned out to be quite serious and dedicated. Vidar Løvstad (Hjerterknekt), who produced his debut album in 2009, became a mentor around the time when Jesper was 13. During the following years, he learned to play a few more instruments and also added songwriting and production skills to his resumé.
During the summer of 2007, he enjoyed a Top 5 hit in Sweden as a co-writer with compatriots Birgitte Moe and Rune Minde on Summer High, a song recorded by Swedish artist Jonas "Jonah" Hedqvist.
In addition to continuously coming up with new songs for himself, he works in a recording studio and various other music projects.

Aché means positive energy, a powerful and positive energy that flows through the artist's personality and music.
Ove-Kenneth Nilsen was given that nickname by the capoeira master China during a trip to Brazil. Axé (pronounced ah-che) was also quickly adopted as his nickname outside capoeira circles.
While working on a music video on the Caribbean island of Trinidad, he met Mikkel Aakervik, a driving force in the Oslo soul/funk scene. Aakervik invited Aché to perform at the Groove Experience club night with his band Vibe.
The first person, however, to recognise Aché's potential was the multi-talented Preben Grieg-Halvorsen, who helped turn Aché's passion into a serious project.
Aché is managed by Kai Lofthus at Dig Music.

A blend of midnight melodies, bittersweet melancholy and sweeping romanticism.
They were fashioned in the digital realm an electronic duo in January 2004, around the peerless song writing of Beggi Dan & Jón Gunnar, eventually becoming a full-blown six-piece band.
Shadow Parade moved from Akureyri to Reykjavík in pursuit of their music dream.With the relocation came a musical re-think. The originally duo decided the classic material they where producing would benefit from a broader sound palette and the warmth of traditional instruments.
The first recruits to the expanded line up were brothers Andri Magnusson (bass) and Magnus Orn Magnusson (drums). As a rhythm section they have a telepathic groove that only siblings can produce. With the advent of such rhythmic dynamism the hard drive was switched off and the songs began to blossom. Shadow Parade completed their line up with the addition of Orn Eldjarn on guitar and Bjarni Margeirsson on keyboards, and the rich complex sound of Shadow Parade was completed.
Shadow Parade are masters of the carefully crafted gritty folky-rock with additional darkness and starling intent. The mix of gravity defying guitars and emotive vocals that fly from the speakers and bury themselves in your memory.
This is music with passion, soul and depth. Shadow Parade's hard work and talent is unleashed on the world in the form of their debut album Dubious Intentions.
