The winner of Imagine Norway 2023
Defusion
Defusion, a cross-genre band from Bodø, has quickly gained recognition in their hometown, performing at numerous concerts, including the Frost Festival. They secured victory in this year's 'Rock against drugs' competition, with the jury's praise: 'Comprising a group of highly skilled individualists, this year's winners distinguished themselves with a unique signature and the ability to take both their song material and the audience on an exciting, surprising journey.' Their debut single, 'One Way Window,' explores the desire to break free from constraints, the burden of overthinking, and how it colors our view of the world.
How Imagine works
Image starts with a series of preselections, either digital or live. Young musicians enter their music projects online and we select the most promising to participate. Typically 10 groups will be selected to participate in either Regional or National Finals, where one winning artist is selected from each country to participate in the Imagine International Final. Each Imagine event offers workshops and training to help young musicians take their career to the next level, connecting with other young artists, building friendships and having a good time.
