D/TROIT

D/troit is a Danish soul band formed in Copenhagen in 2010 by singer Toke Bo Nisted, keyboardist Mads Jensen, guitarist Klaus Højbjerg, bassist Jackie Larsen, and drummer Stefan Andersen. Named as a tribute to the origins of soul music and the Motown sound, the five members all previously played in punk bands before discovering their shared love of soul. In 2016, D/troit was awarded Best New Band at the Scandinavian Soul Music Awards. Their debut album Soul Sound System featured support from Grammy winner Gabe Roth, followed by the heavier second album Heavy. The band has toured extensively across Northern Europe, with a particularly strong following in Germany.
