Biography

The Swedish pop group ARSADI was formed in the vibrant university town Uppsala in 2016 and consists of Malkolm Bonander, Anthony Bachtiar, Feria Hikmet and Nils Öberg. The four academics constantly try to push their fresh indie sound in new exciting directions which music critics have reviewed in very positive terms: “I don’t get it how they manage to succeed time after time. I’m still blown away of how good, professional and magnificent their music is. […] So extremely many people deserve to hear it because it is truly, sincerely, genuinely good. I really hope that more people will find ARSADI!” — DREFVET.SE “They always succeed with the art of outperforming themselves, to develop the band, tweak some knobs here and there so that the soundscape becomes more grandiose and magnificent for every release. ‘If You Were Mine’ is no exception. Upbeat. Contagious. Soaring. Majestic. All ingredients that (I hope) will take ARSADI out to the greater mass.” — DREFVET.SE "The Uppsala band ARSADI is back! This time with a delightfully groovy and captivating pop song which the gentlemen have decided to call Surrender. [...] So capture the moment and let the positive feeling in Surrender make your day better!" — POPMUZIK.SE “Most notable characteristic is the 'groove' which has made the four-man band a popular entity on the Uppsala live scene [...] That ARSADI wouldn’t achieve a breakthrough in the next few years seems unlikely” — ERGO TIDNING
