Bassist and multi-instrumentalist, Hannes was born in Jyväskylä, Finland in 1989.

At the age of 16, he learned to play the guitar by himself and at 20 he started bass and played with the "International Rhythm and Blues Cosmonauts".

In 2012 he left Finland with his bass and a portable amp for a hitchhiking trip around Europe, which will take him to Marseille where he will then play everyday with artists like Joe Keita, Clement Auvergne and Jesse Luostarinen.

In 2013 he joined the National Conservatory of Marseille and studied double bass in jazz section.

Two years later he studied trumpet as a second instrument, and began his band 'Clifford Cash', for which he arranged pieces of the famous trumpet player Clifford Brown.

It was during one of his concerts that Hannes met Benoît. Seduced by the Recreation! concept, Hannes joined the project and quickly introduced Tina Mweni.

"A life experience"; this is how Tina Mweni, MC, dancer, poet, from Nairobi, Kenya, talks about her art.

Arriving in Copenhagen at the age of five, immersed from a very young age in the Danish Hip Hop culture that she appreciates for its authenticity and her values, she will be revealed during her stint in the national show "Denmark got talent" in 2010 where she will reach the final.

From 2011 to 2013, Tina Mweni is one of the most active artists on the Danish scene. Following the French tour she made in 2013 with the East Africa Rise Up project and her meeting with the WePresent label team, she decided to move to France in Marseille where she quickly made a name for herself on the Hip-Hop national scene.

She released her EP Movemental Street Tape in 2015 with the single Respect Women with which she won the 5th edition of the AFRO PEPITE SHOW contest.

Then will follow in 2017 his album RAPVOLUTION.

Tina heard about Recreation! through Hannes and expressed her interest in the project.

Thanks to her charisma and stage performances that combine rap, song and dance, Tina's presence in the project Recreation! (initially as guest) has today evolved into a full collaboration.
