Öuran is the band that no one thought existed - a folk rock band that writes magical-realistic music with a Larsmo dialect, with lyrics that both burst with joy and reflect on the personal. The band debuted with the album "Fåglan på rymmin" (2023) and has since released the 60s-inspired singles "Lektris", "Tro, Hopp & Kärlek" and "Silver Motorped" (2024) and has performed concerts around Swedish-Finland. In 2025, the band will appear with the line-up of double bass, violin, slide guitar and Landola.

Yanz is celebrated for his thought-provoking and conscious hip-hop style, which challenges stereotypes and stays true to his roots.
His willingness to be vulnerable and share raw emotions through his lyrics allows listeners to connect on a profound level. Sometimes performing with a live band, Yanz infuses his rap with the improvisational flair of funk and jazz, bringing a distinct flavor to his music.
