Elin K - atmospheric electronic pop from Sweden

“Elin K’s music has influences of Lana Del Rey and Angelo Badalamenti, with her very own unique voice that bites its hold of the listener... 
Strange Flowers is cinematic and dreamy, almost like stepping into another world, a world where you want to be a while and listen to more.” 
				- Robin Mortensen Lynch, producer and songwriter (Pink, Sting etc).

Elin K is an artist, songwriter and producer from Gothenburg, Sweden. Her atmospheric, evocative but yet airy sound creates the canvas upon which the lyric plays its role.. 
She started her music career as a classical violinist at the age of 6. Subsequently she moved on to singing soul & jazz, and eventually started to write and build her own musical style that draws from a range of inspirations - from alternative sad pop to synth rock

Elin also engages in collaborations with other, cross-genre artists including creating music for film and TV.

One of her most recent artistic collaborations is a project with Anna Novak - renowned Swedish producer and artist. The duo merges digital and analogue music realms into a new, multi-dimensional style of its own.

In April 2018, Elin K releases her EP Still your desire and goes on Scandinavian Women in Music tour that includes among others performances at BMC Festival in Brighton, UK and The Lexington, Los Angeles, USA, . 

Elin K played at the Youbloom music festival, in Los Angeles, toured Eastern Europe, performed at Swedish National Radio 4 and at the prestigious music festival - Way out West. 
She was one of the founders of a feminist soul club Musikklubben in Gothenburg city.

In 2015, Piotr became the first-ever AMPlify participant as he was chosen to collaborate with DJ/producer - Marlo Hoogstraten. His unprecedented use of unusual instruments and organic sound in Trance music resulted in the release of new pieces and live tour in Sydney and Melbourne in 2016.
