Mats Dernánd

When it comes to music, Mats Dernánd has a hard time making up his mind. He is a songwriter, producer, pianist, singer, harmonica player and trumpeter and his music ranges from instrumental cinematic to pop, progressive rock and folk. Perhaps you can blame the promise he made to himself to always follow his heart when making music. In April 2024, Mats released his first and critically acclaimed album "Lake Home", which sums up his music to date.
