Strong contrasts have always been an important part of Bendik's universe. It's a girl with a boy's name, and sore lyrics in mighty wrapping. The music is performed by a few musicians, but sounds like an orchestra.

Since she made her debut as Bendik, Silje Halstensen, as she is actually called, has released several critically acclaimed albums and played hundreds of concerts. The frequent touring activities in combination with the main character's communication ability and presence have contributed to making the Bendik concerts something completely for unique. Audiences and critics have been carried away by her and the band, and Bendik has been nominated twice for live artist of the year under P3 Gull.

After a break from both releases and concerts, Bendik returned in 2018 with the single «Perfekt», which has now garnered ten million streams, and then followed up with the mini-albums Det Går Bra. og Sove. The albums contained songs such as "Bror" and "Din hånd", and gave her A-listings on both NRK P3 and P1, and Spellemann nomination in the category "pop soloist".

2020 was the year Bendik went on a long-awaited tour again. When all concert dates were abruptly canceled, the year was the start of work on her first full-length album in several years, which will see the light of day in the winter of 2022. The first single from the album, "Føles sånn her", is out on September 17.

In the wake of the album release, Bendik and her regular band will finally be on stage again, with a tour that goes through five selected major cities:

11.03. – Byscenen, Trondheim
12.03. – Svømmehallen, Bodø
17.03. – Rockefeller, Oslo
18.03. – Folken, Stavanger
19.03. – USF Verftet, Bergen
