The beginning– ’En Stund’Al FastPoHolmens music emanates from Adam Fast Holms songs and compositions. He creates music with influences from a diversity of genres from Mali-blues to folk, from reggae to jazz and electronic. Sung in a mix of scandinvian languages. But the power definitely lyes more in the music than in the words. Adam is Danish but grew up in Sweden. Together with his cousin, singer Dawn Fastholm he founded Fastpoholmen in 2007. July 2010 FastPoHolmen released their debut album 'En Stund' (a little while) on the newly established record label 'Free Kids Records ' which is housed in Nørrebro in Copenhagen. Major Danish Booking agency Beatbox Booking discovers the band and they start collaborating with FastPoHolmen early 2011. Spring 2011 ‘En Stund’ was re-released on the new distribution company. This time the album gets many good reviews and the band is booked for ‘Spot festival’ and concerts both round about in Denmark and southern Sweden.The track ‘Himlen’ was voted into the charts of the national Danish Radios listener based chart ‘The Electric Barometer’ and stays on the top for 10 weeks. Another track from the Album 'Min Kära ' is the most played song on Danish radio channel P6 in May 2011 and the newspaper Urban nominates the album for one of 2011 best album. Up onto the first release of ‘En Stund’ FastPoHolmen was mostly a duo, sometimes backed by their musicians amongst friends and family. But as the album achieves success, the clubs and festivals wanted to se the band live. New bandmemberscame along, and at Roskilde Festival 2011, FastPoHolmen presented them selves as an 8 person band for the first time. From then on forward Fastpoholmen was, besides Adam and Dawn, Thomas Fløe Nielsen, Kristoffer Sidenius, Jay Habib, Trine Trash, Kristian Rinck -Henriksen and Anders Juhl Nielsen.The Roskilde concert reaped great reviews from major newspapers and music magazines and created interest for several concerts around Scandinavia, In the spring of 2012 the band began the preparations for a new album. Spring, summer and autumn -evenings and nights were spent in the Compound studio in Nørrebro Copenhagen together with producer Thomas Fritsche. With one clear dogma, don’t compromise; keep experimenting until it’s right. In mid-March 2013, Fastpoholmen released their second album, Andas In, (Breathe In) and got many great reviews in Danish and now also Swedish papers and magazines. The release was followed by intense touring, doing gigs in (amongst others) Öland Roots (S), Putte I Parken (S), Øresundsfestival (S), Slotrock (DK), Scandinavia Reggae Festival (DK), Lille Vega (DK). November 26th 2013 ‘Andas In’ won the Danish Music Award 2013 –for Best World Album. Throughout winter and spring2014, Adam produced tracks for a small EP-production. The EP carries the name Mumin and contains 6 powerful songs ranging from small intimate afro / folk songs to more electronic dark and introverted tracks not sucking up to the listeners. The wide spectre of Fastpoholmens music is visable in the variety of venues the played at on their summertour 2014.The played at Præstø Folk Festival, the electronic Giant German Fusion Festival, intimate Himmelstorm festival, world music festival Urkult in Ångermanland Sweden, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and Scandinavia Reggae Festival in Copenhagen. Now the work has already started to create songs for a new full-length album. The recording session is planned for the summer 2015, album to be released in the beginning of 2016. You might call it reggae, folk, afro or electronic.. It's all music to us <3
