Jarle Bernhoft also known as Bern/hoft, is a Norwegian singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer and lyricist originally from Nittedal in Norway who has been a part of bands Explicit Lyrics and Span.
Jarle's first musical endeavour came in 1996 when he formed a band called Explicit Lyrics with Fridtjof Nilsen. The band lasted three years and released three albums whilst together, the first being 'Fleshpulse' with 'Flow' and 'Lipshave' following. Bernhoft achieved better success with his next band Span which consisted of himself as vocalist, guitarist Nilsen, drummer Fredrik Wallumrød and bassist Vemund Stavnes. They released two albums, 'Mass Destruction' in 2004 and 'Vs. Time' in 2005 which charted at #10 on the Norwegian Album Charts, shortly afterwards Span disbanded and Bernhoft moved to his next endeavour.
After Span dissolved, Bernhoft began to collaborate with a number of Norwegian artists including Hanne Hukkelberg, Dadafon, Bigbang. He also played with Green Granadas under the pseudonym Rod Hot. In 2008 he released his first solo LP 'Ceramik City Chronicles' which peaked at #4 on the Norwegian Album Charts, his most successful release at the time. It received support from critics and fans alike. His next album was released in January 2011 and was titled 'Solidarity Breaks', it topped the charts in Norway and entered charts in France and Denmark.
Berhoft took to the road to promote the release, touring all over Norway as well as shows in Germany and France. The next album 'Islander' was released in 2014 and charted at #1 once more in Norway, he was invited to perform at Glastonbury for the first time and the BBC featured an energetic performance of his single 'Wind It Up' in their coverage.
