Smerz is a Norwegian electronic music duo comprised of Catharina Stoltenberg and Henriette Motzfeldt. Originally from Oslo, they relocated to Copenhagen, where they began making music together in the early 2010s. The pair quickly established themselves with a distinctive blend of pop sensibilities, deconstructed club sounds, and experimental approaches to both production and performance.

Their early releases, including the well-received "Okey" EP (2016) and the critically acclaimed "Have Fun" EP (2018), showcased their innovative style, merging club rhythms with ethereal vocals and abstract soundscapes. Smerz's work defies easy categorization, playing with influences from R&B, techno, classical, and avant-garde electronic music. Known for their immersive and unpredictable live shows, Smerz have performed at major festivals and venues across Europe and beyond, building a dedicated following with their enigmatic stage presence.

Their debut album, "Believer" (2021), expanded upon their genre-bending approach, weaving together fragmented beats, lush harmonies, and personal lyricism to widespread critical praise. In addition to their recorded work, Smerz are recognized for their boundary-pushing radio shows and collaborations with visual artists and choreographers, further cementing their reputation as multifaceted innovators in the contemporary music scene. Constantly evolving, Smerz continue to reshape the possibilities of electronic music, using their rich artistic vision to challenge conventions and engage new audiences worldwide.
