Born in London and raised in Christiania (the part of Copenhagen known for its squats, punk and liberal outlook on life) Mercedes was thrown into the creative community from an early age. With an anything-but-normal childhood, soundtracked by Neneh Cherry, David Bowie and Old Dirty Bastard; she even had Lauryn Hill freestyle about her hair and kept friends with imaginary pirates, all before discovering her love for singing in Alex James' studio.

Fast-forward to today and Mercedes has come to represent the feel-good factors of the 80s mixed with a contemporary urban spirit. Working with producers like Tim Powell (Girls Aloud, Sugababes), MNEK (Rudimental, A*M*E*), Dimitri Tokovoi (Placebo, Goldfrapp), Cores (Professor Green), Si Hulbert (Ed Sheeran, Ceelo Green), Nextmen, Kill the Noise and Breakage, MERCEDES is ready to take on the world.
