CHRLY-K

Hi! Nice to meet you. We are CHRLY-K, pronounced Charlie.

The cross-Scandinavian musical duo you didn't know you needed.

Hailing from Norway and Sweden respectively, Charlotte Kvalvik and Peter Bladh joined creative forces in 2021 after meeting through The Songwriting Academy, and haven't looked back since (except occasionally to check if the coffee's ready).

Soundbites

A black vinyl record with a plain white CHRLY-K label, ringed by the word Soundbites.

Trip-hop, electronic pop, and the occasional indie punk song that got out. Press play and see which one turns up.

Who?
What?

A love for atmosphere, emotion and sound that feels slightly left of center. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Portishead, Massive Attack, Phantogram and FKA twigs, CHRLY-K moves freely between softness and intensity, intimacy and noise.

From lush ambient and shimmering electronic pop to indie rock, indie punk and intimate singer-songwriter moments, they’re not afraid to color outside the lines.

Their creative process is as fast as a Norwegian fjord breeze, churning out new songs before you can say "ABBA reunion."

/ Charlotte Kvalvik

Norway · voice, lyrics, toplines

Wielding her vocal cords like a finely tuned instrument, and so far the only one she claims to play.

/ Peter Bladh

Sweden · guitars, keys, production, mixing

Basically, he's the guy with all the buttons and wires.

Their music has already caught the attention of several publishing and sync licensing companies, with placements in film, television and games. They're currently composing music for an upcoming movie: details are under wraps, but let's just say popcorn is recommended.

Whether you're into dreamy soundscapes or catchy hooks, CHRLY-K brings a fresh, playful twist to every track. Stay tuned, there's much more to come, and if you want to tag along for the ride, say hello.
