Jonas Rendbo is a Copenhagen-born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has spent over 25 years shaping the sound of Scandinavian soul and neo-soul. International press has dubbed him 'The Godfather of Scandinavian Soul', and he has shared stages with John Legend, Joss Stone, Bilal and Macy Gray, among others. He took home Artist of the Year and Best Video at the 2016 Scandinavian Soul Music Awards in Stockholm.

The single 'Too Much to Mention' from Be The Light was nominated for Song of the Year at the SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards.
