"Hailing from the Baltic coast, born into a family of musicians, Holly North was immersed in music throughout his childhood. At age seven, he was encouraged to learn the cello, before venturing onto the piano and electric bass during his teenage years. Alongside an early musical education, he also experienced a political one, and credits living in Greifswald with leading him to become politically and socially conscious at a young age. Following a stint in New York, he gained familiarity with the electronic music scene and quickly built a name for himself via a string of celebrated releases, including his 2021 single release Youth which received over one million streams on Spotify alone, before joining Christian Löffler’s Ki Records this year. As a live-act he has played support shows for Christian Löffler, Booka Shade & Pretty Pink and perfomed at infamous Tanzwüste at Fusion Festival. In making music, his motto is simple - “Always different and always new!”, tempering electrifying innovation with just enough moderation as necessary. Holly North loves to draw upon his eclectic and diverse musical background, as he intertwines the acoustic and electronic in deeply melodic sonic creations. Within a collection of nostalgia-tinged, constantly dynamic tracks, the listener discovers fitting accompaniment to those thoughts, emotions and concepts which sometimes feel too vast to be articulated through words alone."
