NIKOLAJ BRUUS
Songwriter, Producer, Label-Owner & Publicist
Quiet Sonia is a Danish chamber-rock/avant-folk ensemble. QS is the center where my interests in poetry, philosophy, and various forms of popular and non-popular music converge. Our music can be listened to and bought via Bandcamp, and we perform live both as a full band and in smaller semi-acoustic formats.
In 2023, Quiet Sonia was nominated for "Best New Hope," and our album QS was nominated for "Best Rock Album of the Year" by the biggest Nordic music magazine, GAFFA. The single "Sparks" was placed in A-rotation on Denmark's biggest alternative national radio channel, P6 Beat.
