August Høyen hits straight to the soul with songs that feel like a friendly hug on a day when everything seems to be falling apart.
His sound is a perfect blend of warm guitar strings, soft R&B rhythms, and spot-on lyrics. Half singer-songwriter, half bedroom pop, and fully his own style.
His musical journey began on drums, but it was when he picked up a guitar during a difficult time that he found his path. Two chords were all he needed, and soon, his songs began to take shape. With his debut EP in 2023, August Høyen emerged as one of the most promising names on the Danish music scene. The EP took listeners through the ups and downs of love, landing him on the country’s biggest stages. Titles like P3’s Uundgåelige (Unavoidable), sold-out shows, and a Danish Music Awards nomination followed, turning him into an artist everyone was talking about.
His self-released debut album August expands the boundaries he first set with the EP. The album cements August Høyen’s position as an artist who dares to strip things down and find beauty in simplicity.
August Høyen is a vibe you don’t want to miss. He sings what you’re thinking but don’t dare to say out loud, and his songs feel like a recap of your life. We’re excited to sing along when he visits Tinderbox this summer.
