Svavar Knútur has released six solo albums beginning in 2009 with "Kvöldvaka (Songs by the Fire)". In 2010, he presented "Amma (Songs for my Grandmother)" and in 2012 his "Ölduslóð (Way of Waves)". In 2015 "Brot (The Breaking)" was released. In September 2018 Knútur released the album "Ahoy! Side A" via Dimma and Nordic Notes. A story of new beginnings and the challenges of a new world. It contains five new songs and four "Repaintings" of older songs. Most recently, the album "Ahoy! Side B" was released in April 2024.

The state of being in-between—the place where things are not clearly defined is where true self-knowledge is derived. When you don’t fit in, you define yourself on your own terms. Singer-songwriter Angela Saini is bi-racial and a crossover country-pop artist who has forged her identity through unflinching positivity and empowering ideals. Today, the Toronto-based country folk-pop artist will issue a series of singles seeding a path to her sophomore album. “I am known for positive songs, but a lot of these were written in dark states. My life isn’t ponies and rainbows, but I write myself out of the sadness,” Angela says. “In every moment we have a choice. I choose to uplift myself and bring people along with me." Angela sweeps people away with instantly-memorable, toe-tapping pop infused with storyteller sing-alongs about courage and finding joy in surprising places. Her Calgary, Canada upbringing—a hotbed of country music—and her Garth Brooks obsession, always informs her instantly memorable songcraft. After all, you can take the girl out of the prairie, but you can’t take the prairie out of the girl.
