DON WEST will perform at Bergenfest 2026 Wednesday, June 11.
In the wake of the global soul revival, DON WEST has begun carving out a distinctive place of his own. Drawing clear lines back to legends such as Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, while engaging with contemporary voices like Jalen Ngonda and Thee Sacred Souls, he moves effortlessly between classic songwriting and a modern sensibility.
His debut EP from November 2024 introduced early favourites such as “Small Change” and “Friends”, quickly attracting international attention. The momentum continued through 2025 with the singles “Send It Back”, “Julia” and “Give Me All Your Love”, confirming an artist in rapid development. Following a sold-out European tour, DON WEST recently completed an equally sold-out headline run across Australia, closing the most significant year of his career to date.
Now his debut album Give Me All Your Love has arrived, placing him firmly among the most compelling new voices in contemporary soul. Strong songwriting, refined production and a vocal presence of rare confidence mark a debut that resonates well beyond genre boundaries. On Wednesday June 10, DON WEST brings his elegant and deeply felt soul to Bergenhus Fortress, setting the tone for a remarkable day at Bergenfest.
