BORN AND RAISED IN SWEDEN, 12TWELVE DISCOVERED HIP-HOP AT AN EARLY AGE. AS A KID, HOURS WERE SPENT WATCHING BEAT BATTLES LIKE THE LEGENDARY ROOTSDOWN SOUNDCLASH, WHERE CREATIVITY, RHYTHM AND RAW TALENT CAME TOGETHER. THAT PASSION EVENTUALLY LED TO BUYING A FIRST MPC—AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON, THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK.
TODAY, 12TWELVE CREATES MUSIC FOR RAPPERS, DANCERS, DJS AND CREATIVES, WITH PRODUCTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED AT CLUBS, DANCE BATTLES AND EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD. WHETHER IT’S AN ORIGINAL BEAT, A CUSTOM COMPOSITION OR MUSIC MADE TO MOVE PEOPLE, EVERY PRODUCTION IS BUILT WITH THE SAME INTENTION: TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT CONNECTS.
INSPIRED BY PRODUCERS LIKE MADLIB AND J DILLA, AS WELL AS THE SWEDISH UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP SCENE, 12TWELVE BLENDS INFLUENCES FROM FUNK, JAZZ AND TRIBAL RHYTHMS INTO A SOUND THAT’S BOTH SOULFUL AND HARD-HITTING. RICH BASSLINES, TEXTURED DRUMS, WARM RHODES KEYS AND RAW VINYL SAMPLES REMAIN AT THE HEART OF EVERY PRODUCTION — ALWAYS CHASING RHYTHM, EMOTION AND GROOVE.
WHETHER IT’S A CUSTOM BEAT, ORIGINAL PRODUCTION OR A CREATIVE COLLABORATION, DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT. NEW IDEAS, NEW PEOPLE AND NEW PROJECTS—12TWELVE IS ALWAYS DOWN FOR A COLLAB.
