当听到丁马王子（Prins Nitram）的首张专辑《Bomty Bomty!》后，不消片刻你就会清楚，自己面对的不是一个平常的独奏音乐家，那种感觉一半属于猫王（Elvis）式的老派摇滚，一半属于贝克（Beck）式的独立音乐。他怪异且神秘的贵族血统之中包含着热情洋溢同时又古灵精怪的音乐混合物质，在丁马王子的音乐里你可以轻松找到无伴奏合唱、摇滚乐、爵士乐、雷鬼乐、另类民谣以及复古流行歌等等内容，他本人将这种“丁马王子混搭风”册封为“Doo-wop旷课乐”，然而，这个够噱头的封号仅仅讲述了王子故事的一部分。
当丁马王子还是个小孩子的时候，这个也被人称作Martin Dahl的年轻人——时常会在睡前听故事环节——被家人告知自己的家族拥有贵族血统。他们一家并没有像多数拥有贵族血统的人那样生活在城堡里面，妈妈告诉丁马王子说，这是因为她想努力并低调的让这个家族远离外界的嫉妒。“我一直记着这个故事所让我感受到的力量” Martin后来回忆道。他一直保守着这个秘密，直到需要为自己的个人音乐项目构思名字的时候。“Prins”的意思是‘prince’（王子），而“Nitram”则是将他的真名‘Martin’反过来拼写的结果。
现场演出，丁马王子将单人乐队的概念提升到了一个全新的层次。在现场表演的时候，与丁马王子进行舞台合作的拍档大多是有关他自己的视频短片，对于高贵皇室的一员来说，丁马王子认为这种舞台表演方式非常恰当，因为它会使丁马王子的现场既独特又朴素，让这位王子看上去不那么急于炫耀自己在音乐及经济方面所掌握的巨大财富。但是观众们也许不会将丁马王子的表演与“朴素”联系起来，他的现场是一个由多空间声光电全方位立体烘焙，铺张着奢华于创意的秀场，僵尸，天使，公主摔跤，游戏，跳舞，丁马王子的表演通常只有在你真正看过以后才敢相信。
说了这么多，好吧，尽管丁马王子喜欢独自上台表演，并且热衷于自己演奏所有乐器——有些时候是同时演奏好几种——但是他的首张专辑《Bomty Bomty!》却不完全是王子本人的独角戏，这张唱片同样为其他几位优秀的音乐家提供了施展的空间，这些音乐家包括：组建Page One乐队，并先后5次获得丹麦音乐大奖的托马斯·布莱曼（Thomas Blachman）；Gorillaz乐队的贝斯手，同时也是著名的英国唱片制作人阿尔·莫波斯（Al Mobbs），这种联合效应使得专辑中的10首单曲，在细节方面产生了令人难以置信的富足质感。
评论界眼中的丁马王子——
“理论上讲令人印象深刻，丁马王子试图重新定义‘乐队’这一概念，他成功了。”
“丁马王子的歌曲里面充满着冷与暖的对照，这种对照的结果，是催生了一种近乎于电子的氛围，一场关于电子与磁场的音乐风暴就要来临。”
Upon hearing Prins Nitram’s debut album, Bomty Bomty!, it becomes quickly clear that you are not dealing with your average solo artist. Equal parts Elvis and Beck, His Royal Oddness employs a tropical mix of barbershop, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, reggae, quirky folk and good-old-fashioned-singalong pop, a combination he has dubbed ‘Doo-wop crunk’, an evocative name that tells only part of the story.
 
As a child, the man also known as Martin Dahl was told, sometime around bedtime, that his family had royal blood; that they didn’t live in a castle, said Momma Dahl, was an effort at modesty to keep the family free of the envy of the rest of the world. “I remember the power the story gave me,” Martin recalled, and he kept the secret until it was time to name his solo project. “Prins”: ‘prince’; “Nitram”: ‘Martin’.
 
Live, the Prince brings the concept of a one-man band to a new level. Playing along with videos of Himself, the concept is certainly befitting a member of a royal family, but its execution is in keeping with the modesty of a prince not too eager to broadcast his massive wealth – musical or financial. In the multi-dimensional audio-visual extravaganza that is a Prins Nitram live set, zombies, angels, and Prinses fight, play, dance, perform and more in an Experience that has to be seen to be believed.
 
In spite of his habit of performing as a one-man band and playing almost all instruments himself – sometimes several at once – there is room enough on Prins Nitram’s debut album for some other great musicians: Thomas Blachman (Page One), and British producer and Gorillaz bassist Al Mobbs. The combined effect is the creation of a fantastic richness of detail in the musical underscoring of all ten numbers.
 
What the critics are saying about Prins Nitram:
“technically impressive…tries to reinvent the concept of ‘band’…”
“The contrast of coolness and warmth goes hand in hand through the songs, and the result is an almost electric atmosphere as the two fronts meet. A storm is on the way. Electric and magnetic.”
托马斯·巴兹Thomas Baz (Thomas Baz 要跟丁马王子一起来，也要单独演出）
托马斯·巴兹站在足以让人昏厥的艺术高度一边为你浪漫的低声吟唱，一边为你讲述着属于北欧的民间传说，舞台背景则是一块播放黑白光影的电影银幕，混合着新旧影像素材，请不要担心，托马斯·巴兹的所有艺术元素均在安全剂量之内。在澳大利亚主要都市和偏远乡村度过了大约一年后，托马斯·巴兹带着整整一麻袋新歌回到了祖国丹麦，这些新作大多倾诉着巴兹最为擅长的东西——轻松的庄重与浪漫的凄凉，而他又选择了一种有趣的演唱方式，使得自己听上去像是跑了调的罗伊·奥比森（Roy Orbison）——总之那种感觉听起来虽然有些怪但却又相当不错。托马斯·巴兹经常被拿来和鲁夫斯·韦恩莱特（Rufus Wainwright）、莱昂纳德·科恩（Leonard Cohen）与德文卓阿·班哈特（Devendra Banhart）相比较，巴兹5首歌的EP专辑“The Nurse and the Knife Thrower”《护士与飞刀手》，是一张由迈克尔·马瑞诺（Michael Marino）担任制作人，录制时间超过两年，音乐性密集又极具玩耍性质的唱片，它的缩混工作是由来自Wildbirds & Peacedrums（野鸟与和平鼓）与Loney Dear（孤独宝贝）等乐队的奥古斯特·王格伦（August Wanngren）完成的，这张专辑计划于2010年的夏天正式发行。
Thomas Baz delivers a healthy dose of romantic crooning and folkloric storytelling at swooning heights, with a backdrop of black and white film, mixing archived and newly recorded material. After a year of total dedication in various urban and remote areas of Australia, Baz has returned to Denmark with a new batch of songs both joyously grave and romantically forlorn.With a singing style like Roy Orbison gone wrong – in a good way – he’s been compared to the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Leonard Cohen and Devendra Banhart. Baz’s five-song EP, The Nurse and the Knife Thrower, is a playful and musically dense record created over the course of two years with help from producer Michael Marino and a giant handful of musicians. Mixed and mastered by August Wanngren (Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Loney Dear, etc.), the record will be released in the early summer of 2010.
