Jonas Lorentzen Email and Phone Number

Jonas Lorentzen is a Danish musician and songwriter known for his work as vocalist in the Neo Nordic folk Band Heilung and for his work on and appearance in, the Viking Epic movie The Northman by Hollywood rising star director Robert Eggers. Raised by a family of musicians on the Danish Island of Bornholm, Jonas has explored various styles of music throughout his whole life, from classical music to Jazz and Indie rock n roll. However, when Jonas, during a meditation retreat in Dharamshala, home of Tibetan refugees in India, heard the Gyuto monk throat singing chants, he was send on a path of exploring the various styles of the spiritual application of music. “all music, when done with full attention and passion, is in some sense spiritual, for the simple reason that it brings both the practioner and the listener into the now, however there are ancient styles of music from all over the world that directly focuses on this element, and it comes with a sometimes even frightening power, which continues to fascinate me to this day” - Jonas Lorentzen. After having been involved with Heilung for two years Jonas decided it was time to focus on his own expression in this field of music based on a reimagining of Nordic folk and spiritually driven music. The result was Nebala, spearheaded by Jonas Lorentzen, but assisted and graced by powerful talents such as Sebastian Gainsbourough(Vessel, the Northman, Manchester collective), Kjell Braaten(Wardruna, Origami Galaktika) as well as non-musician minds assisting in the conceptual development, Doctor Mathias Nordvig (Professor of Pre-Christian Religion at CU Boulder) and Philosopher Naina Gupta (University of Kingston).Apart from working on Nebala, Jonas has been heavily involved in the upcoming Viking Epic movie “ The Northman”.
