Phlake is a Danish R&B and soul duo recognized for their distinct sound and numerous awards. After achieving significant success with their breakthrough single ‘Pregnant,’ which rapidly climbed to number 9 on the Danish singles chart upon its October 2015 release, Phlake, the acclaimed R&B and soul duo featuring vocalist Mads Bo and producer Jonathan Elkær, went on to establish a distinctive sound.

Phlake continued their impressive career trajectory with their 2017 follow-up album, ‘Weird Invitations,’ which amassed millions of streams and was certified double Gold. From this album, the single ‘The Rascal’ became a major hit on Danish radio in 2018.

The duo has also unveiled acclaimed singles such as ‘Angel Zoo,’ ‘Chunks,’ and ‘IKEA Episodes,’ consistently pushing creative boundaries within the genre. With a consistent record of chart-topping albums, award-winning productions, and critically acclaimed live performances, Phlake continues to be a prominent force in contemporary R&B and soul. Their distinctive sound, blending intricate production by Jonathan Elkær with the soulful vocals of Mads Bo, has cemented their position as an innovative and highly sought-after act, poised for continued global impact.
