History

The group was created in 2015 when Jonathan Elkær, a member of Tabu Records and creating beats for Danish band Suspekt, wanted to do something new. He then met singer, Mads Bo. Together, they paired up and called themselves Phlake. An R&B group with elements of soul, the group has achieved several successful singles in Denmark.{{cite web|title = Premiere: Danske Phlake laver selvproklameret ‘rhythm’n’balls’ – hør ‘So Faded’ - Soundvenue.com (In Danish)|url = http://soundvenue.com/musik/2015/05/premiere-danske-phlake-laver-selvproklameret-rhythmnballs-hoer-so-faded-147339|accessdate = 18 May 2015}}
