Basix began by winning the top award at the Dansk Melody Grand Prix contest, broadcast
live on national television. Its first album, The Grass, won the Contemporary A Cappella
Recording Award (CARA), stayed on the "Top 10" charts for seven weeks and "went platinum"
(in Denmark, it's silver, gold, herring and platinum).
Since then, Basix has won the CARA award three more times, and has now been touring
internationally, with its own blend of pop, jazz, r&b, soul and rock and roll.
