Exchange your sports star dream for a musical one. The 21-year-old musician, Louis Emilio Martinez Bjørsted, switched soccer for a piano in his childhood and was struck by the magical coincidence, when his phone played a song by the American rapper Travis Scott.

The rising musical star draws inspiration from Scott's distinctive hip-hop sound, but one can also trace local references in Louis' talent and recognizable sound. The musician's universe brings to mind names like KESI and Hans Phillip.

Louis was among the last five finalists in Karrierekanon 2023, and a total of three singles saw the light of day in 2023. Among them was “Tungeste Hjerte”, which won Ugens Upcoming on P3. Louis' most recent release is the track "Fire Øjne".

DJ, radio and TV host Pelle Peter Jencel has also praised Louis. Jencel tells dr.dk:

“When Louis opens his mouth, it feels both familiar and very exciting at the same time. He has a voice that you want more of. It's warm like a good cup of cocoa with whipped cream, but has a fragility that makes you really listen when he sings. - The fact that he can also write songs with lyrics that make you feel, upon the very first listen, that you understand what he's feeling and want to sing along, only adds to Louis' appeal.”
