LORO_DROP
Povel Olsson and Kaspars Roga’s musical journey began many years ago when Povel produced for Kaspars' band, BrainStorm. This collaboration marked the beginning of their partnership, but it wasn’t until recently that they decided to formalize their work together under the name LORO_DROP.
Back in 2006, before the two even knew of each other, Kaspars, alongside his bandmates, was touring non-stop. His band, BrainStorm, had already received an MTV award as Best Baltic Act and had toured as a support act for iconic artists like The Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode. Meanwhile, Povel was locked in a small shed in the middle of a forest, practicing jazz drums.
As time went on, Kaspars started side-hustling as a screenwriter and director for numerous concert films, music videos, and documentaries, meanwhile Povel was still locked inside his shed in the forest. Spring came, and Povel eventually tried his luck, successfully moving to Stockholm to become a composer and platinum-selling music producer, starting to work with Sweden’s crème de la crème such as Robyn, Loreen, Mando Diao, Molly Sandén, and forming his own band, The Royal Concept.
However, fate had a hand to play. One cold winter night, Povel met a mutual friend who introduced him to Kaspars, and the two instantly clicked. Making music together for the band for a long time, they started to realize they had to do something about their obsession with electronic music. Povel has recently developed a deep love for synthesizers and electronic instruments, which has led him down a very deep rabbit hole. Thankfully, Kaspars picked him up just in time to help him focus on making music, not just weird sounds!
