Kerli

Alternative rock
Alternative rockDream popElectronic

Kerli is a Alternative rock and Dream pop act. Their catalogue also touches Electronic, Industrial and Rap. Their sound grew out of Björk, She's In Parties, Bonnie Tyler, Phil Collins and Bill Kaulitz. Those roots explain a lot about how Kerli arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bonnie McKee, Nicole Scherzinger, Loreen, The Veronicas and Ashley Tisdale, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Demi Lovato, Cash Cash, Seven Lions, Benny Benassi and Pentatonix, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 29 connections around Kerli, reaching back through Björk and forward to Demi Lovato.
