Akersberga, Stockholm Nov 10, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Independent label NorthBeat Records (NorthBeat Records) is turning real human journeys into powerful soundtracks of freedom, courage, and connection.
From sailing families crossing the oceans to a cyclist riding from Sweden to Japan, NorthBeat transforms authentic experiences into genre-blending music that unites artists, adventurers, and listeners worldwide.
Music that connects people – no matter where they are
Founded by producer and songwriter Viktor Grahn (@viktorygrahn), NorthBeat was created with one vision — to build a global community where music grows through collaboration.
The project “We Are Free” is a shining example: a song and film created together with 12 families who live full-time on sailing boats and explore the world, including the well-known Swedish sailing families @sailinggreta and @linneasailing.
The song captures the feeling of freedom, unity, and the courage to live life on your own terms — marking the beginning of a new creative movement within NorthBeat.
Riding for You – from Sweden to Japan, a journey of heart and strength
In collaboration with artist Rayeggião (@rayeggiao) and adventurer Anders Grandien (@andersgrandien), NorthBeat created “Riding for You”, a song inspired by Anders’ 15 000 km cycling journey from Sweden to Japan to honor his late father and raise awareness for men’s health.
The project has already raised over 6 000 USD for charities supporting men’s mental and physical health — a strong example of how music and action can amplify one another.
The track is produced by Viktor Grahn and co-written with Rayeggião, inspired by real encounters and emotions along the road.
