Description
Despite his young age, Jonas Alaska is an incredibly talented lyricist and songwriter with a characteristic sound and a strong voice.
His songs range from heart-wrenching ballads with captivating harmonies to up-tempo tunes with elements of Americana, folk and pop - all with an original sound, both lyrically and melodically. Alaska's lyrics often focus on themes such as love, politics and tragedy, but also the simpler things in life that everyone can relate to.

Thom Hell: Guitar, piano, organ, vocals
Even Ormestad: Bass, piano, keyboards
Martin Horntveth: Drums, percussion
