ROYA is an up-and-coming electronic pop duo from Denmark and this year's guest at the PierSession in Binz. Their music is characterized by honest lyrics and danceable, lively pop sounds.
After several radio hits and the release of their debut EP "Dear Space" in 2023, they have become a viral sensation. Their story began in the idyllic landscapes of Denmark, where both members found their musical roots. They met six years ago and initially began writing songs for other artists before focusing on their own music. Their breakthrough came with the song "Kinda Sad" and the collaboration with Jonah Blacksmith. ROYA has a large following on TikTok and Instagram and uses interactions with fans to shape their music. Their viral hit "Cruise" earned them an international record deal and millions of streams.
ROYA's sound is characterized by a combination of Line Gade's Nordic melodies and ethereal vocals and Sebastian Igens' intense electronic pop house productions. Their music reflects emotional turbulence while being danceable and vibrant.
