Hillari will perform at Bergenfest 2025 Friday, June 13.
From her early days as a church singer to being nominated for the Music Moves Europe Awards, HILLARI has gone from being an unknown name to becoming one of the most exciting newcomers in Norwegian music. When she performs her first concert at Bergenfest in 2025, it will be a long-awaited appearance for an artist who has already made a strong mark on the industry.
She has previously left a lasting impression with performances at Øyafestivalen, Vill Vill Vest, and By:Larm, gained recognition from superstar producer Timbaland, and was called "a rising star" by Aftenposten’s reviewer. The statement came in connection with a five-star review of her debut EP, "How Is Your Soul?", an intimate blend of soul, R&B, and ballads that offers insight into HILLARI’s reflections on faith, identity, and relationships.
Despite still being early in her career, she has performed at some of Norway’s biggest festivals, received attention on BBC1, had her music featured in Netflix series, and gained a growing international audience, particularly in the Philippines. Now, HILLARI is ready to continue her journey toward even greater musical achievements.
