Kaj

If 2025 had a soundtrack, it would be spelled "Bara bada bastu". What started as a sauna-scented tribute to Nordic culture exploded into a full-scale pop phenomenon - the song shot to #1 on Spotify in both Sweden and Finland, topped charts across the Nordic region and the Baltics, and reached #1 on Global Viral 50. It was also nominated for a Grammy.

Behind the success stands the trio Kevin Holmström, Axel Åhman and Jakob Norrgård, who grew up in Vörå, Finland, where it all began in 2009. With witty lyrics, nostalgic flirtations and a love for Finland-Swedish culture, they built a musical world of Nordic folk melodies, modern pop and stage humor. The local became national - and then international.

The journey has been marked by sold-out tours, albums and a historic victory at Melodifestivalen 2025, where Kaj became the first Finland-Swedish act to represent Sweden at Eurovision.

Ahead lies a new Sweden tour, with sing-alongs, choreography and a show where humor goes hand in hand with hit appeal.
