Hess Is More

Hess Is More is the brainchild of Danish musician and composer Mikkel Hess. Blending a quirky mix of electronic, jazz, and pop influences, the project started as a solo endeavor but has since evolved into a collaborative live ensemble, known for its genre-defying sound and energetic performances. Originating from Copenhagen and now based in New York, Hess Is More has developed a cult following for crafting tracks that are both playful and sophisticated, with hypnotic grooves and unexpected arrangements.

Mikkel Hess's background in film scoring and improvisational music shines through in the project's experimental approach, with tracks often building in layers and featuring a mix of live instrumentation and electronic production. Releases like "You Don’t Dance” and “I Love My Life (again and again)” highlight the project’s signature blend of minimalism, danceability, and humor. Whether in the studio or on stage, Hess Is More continues to push boundaries and challenge listeners' expectations in the best way possible.
