Artists for 2024 and 2025

ROSA unveils the six names for the upcoming 2024/25 season, set to tour Danish boarding schools. The lineup includes HUNNID22, ALVAH, Bree Carter, Dos Santos, and the two winners of Karriere Kanonen 2024: hun_sagde and Dupont.

Last year, E-Tur presented Dahlin and Kris, who won the KarriereKanonen 2023 competition.

An extraordinary opportunity for the two winners of KarriereKanonen is that they will secure the last spot on E-Tur, enabling them to perform at nine boarding schools—thanks to our partnership with BandAkademiet, which, like E-Tur, focuses on nurturing talent.

KarriereKanonen presents this year's two winners; hun_sagde and Dupont, and now E-Tur is at the door, ready to give the budding talents the opportunity to perform at the country's boarding schools, giving them practical touring experience.

Last year, talents Dahlin and Kris took home the victory (pictured above).

KarriereKanonen is not just a competition where the winners reach a wide audience through DR's platforms - it is also a talent development project that provides all selected participants with guidance, insights into the music industry, and a tailored program through Bandakademiet.

The two winners of KarriereKanonen perform in week 35, 36, 37.

Emma Lillelund Saaugaard, known by her artist name hun_sagde, is a 26-year-old singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer who creates a unique blend of hip-hop and art pop. In her lyrics, *hun_sagde* explores the darker aspects of human nature and society, with a particular focus on mental health and existentialism in youth. Her music is marked by inspiration from 90s trip-hop, adding a raw and dark edge to both her lyrics and productions.

Emma studied songwriting at the conservatory in Aarhus, where she experimented with various forms of expression within hip-hop and explored her voice in both singing and rapping. In October 2022, *hun_sagde* released her self-titled debut single “hun_sagde,” and in 2024, she participated in KarriereKanonen, ultimately winning after making it through all the rounds.

Emma comments on her victory: “I don’t think I would have gotten here without my stubbornness, independence, and perfectionism... I feel like I’ve just defeated the first boss in a video game, and now the next chapter begins. I’m incredibly excited to see how the storyline develops.”

E-Tur is now ready to embrace *hun_sagde* and let her crowd-surf on a euphoric wave across Danish efterskoler (boarding schools). Audiences can look forward to her intense live performances, where *hun_sagde* brings her unique energy and authenticity to the stage with drum-driven choruses and hip-hop dressed in grungy pop productions, awakening your inner rebel. Experience *hun_sagde* on E-Tur and be both comforted and challenged by her powerful stage presence.

Dupont is a relatively young five-member band from Skive and Viborg, who describe their genre as “colony garden rock” – a genre that, like a garden shed, offers peace and space to be oneself. Their music is liberating, physical, and evokes strong emotions, often expressed in a raw and honest manner.

The band formed in 2023 and consists of Mikkel Harding (vocals, guitar), Marius Bull Skafdrup (bass), Christian Mathias Laursen (drums), Dines Hoyer (guitar), and Casper Schriver (piano, organ). They met through various school exchanges. Despite their short existence, they managed to secure a spot in this year’s KarriereKanonen with their song “Night Terrors.” After the nomination, the band focused on perfecting their sound. The hard work paid off, and in June, Dupont captured the jury's attention and won alongside hun_sagde.

The band received high praise for the honesty and power they brought to their performances. The jury commented on Dupont’s victory: “There’s no one like Dupont on the Danish music scene right now. We believe there is a large audience across generations waiting for them. Dupont strikes hard at the heartstrings.”

Behind the artist name Dos Santos stands the budding 22-year-old talent Christian Lima Dos Santos Ringsing, who, in collaboration with producers Nicolai Gabold (Julias Moon, Elisha, among others) and Niels Christian Sommer (Ganger, among others), has crafted a rhythmically grounded expression where R&B-inspired catchy melodies merge with electronic beats and cinematic soundscapes. In 2023, Danes got to know the sound of Dos Santos when he released the song "Endnu En Dag" in the spring, followed by the next single "Folder Mine Hænder" in the summer, which became both P3's Uundgåelige and The Voice Choice - a song that embraces the feminine sides of samba and its most masculine moments, full of sensuality and liberation.

At the end of 2023, it finally happened - Dos Santos released his debut EP, fittingly titled "SAMBA." The songs on the debut are in Danish but are rooted in the Brazilian music culture's samba philosophy, weaving together the warm sound of South America with personal and tender lyrics that tell tales of love, family, and longing, but above all, about freedom - the kind that releases in the mind, heart, and body, like the first steps of samba; "forward, backward - uno, dos."

Dos Santos was recently announced as an artist at Smukfest, and now he's ready to dive into ROSA's E-Tur, where he will bring his joy, celebration, and melancholy to the country's boarding schools.
