Marta Pettersson and Erika Ahlström are the producers and songwriters behind the Swedish pop phenomenon I Am Karate.
The duo grew up on different sides of the deep forest in Dalarna, Sweden, and didn’t meet each other until 2013. After one single musical encounter in 2014 the girls knew they had to start a band, and made their debut in 2015 with an EP called “I Am Karate” with a progressive electronic pop sound similar to Fever Ray and Robyn. Later that year they released two singles, “Elevate” and “Bitter”, were nominated Best Unsigned Act in GAFFA Magazine 2016. The same year they signed with the major label Universal Music who released the EP “In Thin Air” and the single “Swayze” which got picked up for The Times Essential Tracks.
After The Guardian’s interview, playing live on national television, and more than 1 million streams on Spotify the girls went into the studio again. Two years later I Am Karate returned with three self-released singles; “Expectations” in early 2018, “News” at the end of the summer, and to finish of the year the duo released their self-written and produced track “Work It Out” in december 2018. The new music showed I Am Karate are not afraid of taking their listeners to the far edge of mainstream pop music.
Since then they’ve been working on their long awaited debut album, which will be written and produced by the duo themselves. The first release from the upcoming album is a single called Freaky, and will be released September 11 2019.
