1) A Swedish Stoner Metal/Hard Rock Band
2) A Norwegian blues/soul/R&B artist
1) Grande ~ Stoner Metal from Sweden Thunderous trio Grande was originally formed back in the fall of 2008 by guitarist Kaveryd, bassgrinder Dingvall and previous drummer AW. In May of 2009 the band released their first promo and later that summer a number of stages in and around the Stockholm area got smashed and bashed by the groovy riffing that is the trademark of GRANDE. The current setting of GRANDE was completed at the turn of the decade by the new drummer Wikforss and soon after this the gruesome threesome really started to make a name for themselves with live gigs including appearances with Swedish greats such as Mustasch, The Kristet Utseende, Mass Murder Agenda and Sideburn.
By late December 2011 the band started recording their debut album at Sunlight Studio with producer Tomas Skogsberg. Finally mastered by Peter In de Betou to be released to the waiting masses in 2013.
Kaveryd – Guitar and Vocals
Started out as a drummer, but got tired of sitting at the back not connected to the audience. Formed my first band I was 14 and have the total experience of about 10 different bands. With GRANDE I have already achieved more than with any of the other bands and I think it has with our dynamics and chemistry to make for a very large part. My belief is that the bands that succeed are those who strive in the same direction and with the same intensity and determination. That, combined with the fact that we are damn good at what we do will lead us far.
In the case of musicianship and songwriting I write most of the material (it all builds from the riff as you know). Dingwall is a trained sound engineer and quite ok on bass. And obviously hair is need when playing metal, and so Wikforss also gets to be part of it.
Wikforss – Drums
I joined GRANDE in 2009. The other two bald eagles needed at least one guy with a little bit of hair in the band. They also needed a drummer, which I am. I met up with the guys, jammed a little and felt sorry for them so I joined the band. It’s nice to sit in the back playing drums and laughing at the other two making asses of themselves at the front. As drummer I brainwashed myself with Chad Smith’s drumming methods when I was a kid, then moved on to play thrash metal. After what I grew up and found that speed wasn’t the most important thing. Music sounds better when the musicians are having fun. Fun has never been a problem in GRANDE and we also play damn good rock!
Before I joined GRANDE I played in a thrashmetalband, a beer rock band and a Pantera tribute band. I like good rock and poor beer, Guess that’s it!
Dingvall – Bass
Born and raised above the Arctic circle, my musical upbringing reflects that in the punk and hardcore bands I’ve played in while living there. Started out as a most playing guitar but I soon realized that it’s not nearly manly enough so I picked up the bass instead!
Since I escaped the frozen tundra of the north I’ve studied and worked as an audio engineer and during this time I realized that I wanted to play music again and not just do the sound. This is where I met up with Kaveryd and after hearing some heavy riffs and creating some it was a done deal. After that we searched the world for a drummer and found Wikforss. He fit the profile perfectly, could band on stuff and drink beer like a champ.

2) Grande (Kjetil Grande) recently released his second solo album "You Are The Night". Norwegian critics are overwhelmed and honour the album with 5 and 6 eyes on the dice.
Not bad for an artist who experienced the pressure of following up his ”Norwegian Grammy” award winning debut album "Uppers, Downers, Screamers & Howlers".
His debut album was influenced by the black American music of the first half of the 21st century. Blues, Soul, R&B, Black Garage rock, made up the backbone in Grande´s compositions, with Grande´s guitar in the middle.
On ”You Are The Night” Grande dives into a musical universe of ballrooms, big bands, noir films, romantic soundtracks, light & shades, gloom & drama: The majestic and dangerous sound of the white American music of the same period.
Grande says: "You Are The Night” is the soundtrack to a year I devoted to capture the essence of the night, whether it is a gloomy & dark night, or an all night wild party. For me no music is more dramatic - and if you will schizophrenic - when it comes to light and shade, than white American music from the period 1930-1960. ”The Great American Songbook” is not all about the "happy go lucky life in the fast lane”, as it has been presented the last years... This album is a tribute to the dramatic and heavy side of The Great American Songbook.
In "You Are The Night" you will find a little bit of the 1930s crazyness, the romantic but gloomy 40s, the exploring 50s and the sexy and daring 60s. But Grande maintains that he is NO retro artist. He is a young man living in the year of 2010, absorbing the music of the day, even though the music of yesterdays America has been his true love since his teenage days. After years of backing some of the biggest pop-rock artists of Norway, even backing American blues legends, since he was 18, Grande will be touring with his own band both nationally and internationally.

I gave in to the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm bein' honest
Feel like a failure
'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better
'Cause you don't want a liar
And I know, and I know, and I know she gives you everything
But boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know that you got everything
But I got nothin' here without you
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
I don't deserve it
I know I don't deserve it
But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it
Can't you forgive me?
At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault
I should've been more careful
And I know, and I know, and I know she gives you everything
But boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know that you got everything
But I got nothin' here without you, baby
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time

Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart (babe)
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home, yeah
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
The song "One Last Time" by Ariana Grande is a ballad about a relationship that has ended and the singer wanting one last chance to be with her ex-partner before moving on. The song's lyrics are an apology to the ex-partner for being a liar, failing them, and not giving them everything they deserved. The singer acknowledges that the ex-partner is with someone else, but begs for one last chance to be with them and take them home. The singer promises to make it worth it and pleads for forgiveness, knowing that they don't deserve it.
The song's theme of a regretful breakup is not unlike many pop songs, but Grande's soaring vocals and her emotional delivery of the lyrics make it a standout. Grande's voice cracks with emotion towards the end of the song, emphasizing how much the relationship means to her and how badly she wants to make amends. The song was released in 2015 and became a top 20 hit in several countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
