Favor is the moniker of Danish songwriter Jeppe Hvirvelkær. He was born into a mixed musical family, growing up with his dad being a 70s folk-rock man and his mum being a worshipper of 80s pop ballads. After having followed his dad’s band on the road from the age of 11, the young artist started writing his own music. In 2015, he went on a self proclaimed world tour for two years as he played his way through the streets of New York, Rio, Istanbul, Rome and Sydney. Finally meeting a producer in 2017 on an open mic night in London, Hvirvelkær was brought into the studio and out on the Copenhagen music scene.
