"FIVE O LAND represents a stage in life where much has already been accomplished, providing a new perspective on both life and music. It's an opportunity to look back on the music that has inspired and shaped us, to pay homage to our idols, and to bring everything together in THE FIVE O LAND EXPERIENCE."
Janne & Niklas
Backstory
Janne Hyöty and Niklas Rosström have collaborated for over a decade on various music projects, working with artists, TV productions, and advertisements. However, in the fall of 2022, they found themselves reflecting on the state of the music industry and how the art they once cherished had become increasingly difficult to find.
In a world where much of the music being released feels fleeting, they wanted to create something timeless — rooted in authenticity and performed by the very musicians who shaped the music they grew up with.
Musicians
The project features a wide range of guest vocalists and musicians from different countries - including Gregg Bissonette, Nic Collins, Yolanda Charles and Jennifer Batten.
One of the key goals of this project is to create an album that is 100% played, sung, and performed organically by real musicians. By bringing together talent from around the world, this project aims to return music to its roots.
