Born in Finland, based in Stockholm. By day a part-time songwriter & producer, by night transforming into The Northern Pines (country/Americana) and Starbreeze (EDM/future house). Two worlds, one passion

Captivating Music Producer from Sweden

The Northern Pines and Starbreeze is the musical moniker of a Swedish songwriter, Peter Grotell.

The Northern Pines

A blending heartfelt storytelling with modern country flair. Drawing inspiration from the wide-open landscapes of the American South and the quiet beauty of Nordic nature, The Northern Pines crafts songs that echo with emotion, grit, and poetic honesty. From boot-stompin’ honky-tonk tunes to tender ballads about love, loss, and home, his sound is rooted in Nashville traditions with a Scandinavian soul.

Starbreeze

Starbreeze blends shimmering electronic textures with driving pop energy, creating songs that are both euphoric and emotionally charged. With tracks like Blinded and Happy Nude, Starbreeze captures a sound that’s fresh, uplifting, and tailor-made for late-night drives or festival stages. A project defined by its clean production, melodic hooks, and atmospheric depth, Starbreeze continues to carve out a unique space in the modern electronic-pop landscape.

Lost My Heart in Laredo is a modern country song that blends heartfelt storytelling with a dusty Texas sunset vibe. Play it loud in your pickup and holler along to the chorus while you’re ridin’ off into that ol’ sunset!

Breakthrough (Neon Pulse Remix) is a hypnotic deep house track with pulsing neon energy, perfect for peak-hour playlists. Dark, groovy, and euphoric — this remix takes the 2022 original to the next level. Guaranteed to make listeners lose track of time (and maybe their shoes)

✨ FRIDAY SONG DROP ✨ 26/9
Blinded 🔥 A high-energy club track built for late nights, neon lights, and dance floors that never sleep. Lost in the rhythm. Found in the light. ✨


Lyrics video, Wildflowers

Even broken roots can carry a story.

Lyrics video, Blinded

Blinded brings high-energy future house with a hook that sticks. It’s club-ready, uplifting, and dangerously catchy — the kind of track that makes you forget your step count, but not the dancefloor

Lyrics video, The Roots Beneath My Feet

The song is a tender and nostalgic love letter to one’s roots, which for me happens to be the most beautiful coastal town in Finland – the sun-soaked city of Hanko. Thank you all for your support!
