23.06: ROYA x L’Impératrice
Hailing from the picturesque coasts of Denmark, the electronic pop-duo ROYA is emerging as a promising act on the global music scene. The honest lyrics echo all the flaws that we tend to undermine from time to time and combined with a sound of lively, edgy and dancefloor ready widescreen pop, ROYA is destined to captivate audiences worldwide! Following several radio hits, renowned tours and the release of their debut EP “Dear Space” in 2023, the duo has embarked on a new musical journey becoming a viral sensation connecting with followers to “surf the right wave” – a spontaneous and unique inclusive way of creating songs by resonating the reactions and feelings of people everywhere!
ROYA’s story begins in the idyllic landscapes of Thy, where Line Gade spent her childhood immersed in music, surrounded by the beauty of Denmark’s west coast. With a dictaphone always at hand, she composed songs inspired by her surroundings, from the piano at home to the music school and the nearby forest and sea. On the opposite coast, Sebastian Igens’ early years were marked by a dedication to gymnastics, which later evolved into a passion for guitar and electronic music, culminating in a formal education in sound design. Despite their different upbringings, destiny brought them together…
Meeting six years ago through a setup by prominent international publishers, Line and Sebastian discovered an undeniable chemistry, initially writing songs together with and for other artists, including international acts such as 6ix9ine and MNEK. Following a heartbreak for Line, bringing her and Sebastian even closer together as friends, the duo decided to fully focus on creating their own music – this moment marked the birth of ROYA. The name, serendipitously discovered to mean “dream” in Arabic, perfectly encapsulates their journey and a dream came true, eventually bringing their music to life as ROYA were recognized as the best upcoming live act at the prestigious Danish festival, SMUKFEST, in 2022.
ROYA’s early releases were born from emotional turbulence, reflecting a moody yet compelling, dancefloor ready sound. When released in the Autumn of 2022, the epic sad banger “Kinda Sad” made a significant impact on international music blogs and media, also claiming a “Song of the Week” on Danish national radio
P3. The follow-up, ‘Paperwings’, hit the NMF-playlists all over Scandinavia while ROYA simultaneously surfed the radio waves featuring on the Top-5 single, ‘Ocean’ by the Danish folk-pop act Jonah Blacksmith, also becoming the 10th most played song on Danish radio in 2023.
Their music is characterized by Line’s Nordic melodies and ethereal vocals on top of Sebastian’s intense electronic pop-house productions. In the fall of 2023, the debut EP, “Dear Space”, and a subsequent headliner tour in Denmark marked significant milestones for one of the most promising new acts of the Nordics.
ROYA have become a viral TikTok and Instagram sensation connecting with thousands of followers, gaining millions of views and streams across platforms and proving a blooming international potential. They’ve found a new spontaneous way of creating music and songs described by Line and Sebastian as “surfing the right wave”, allowing impressions and fan interactions to shape their songs. Their viral hit “Cruise,” crafted with fan participation through interactions in the comments, secured an international record deal, embarking ROYA on a new exciting journey! Only two months after the release of ‘Cruise’ they reached 10 million streams on spotify and they have 1 million+ followers across platforms.
We’ll see them at Malta Festival on June 23, opening for L’Impératrice at the Poznań International Fair.
