Ana Juél brings new Danish R&B energy to Ideal Bar

Ana Juél is a new name on the Danish scene who, with a strong, personal voice and an international sound, has already made her mark as a musician on the rise. Among other things, her expression has led Soundvenue to draw parallels to big names such as Jamila Woods and Amber Mark.

Behind Ana Juél stands Jean Anastasia Juman Elbæk, who with Guyanese roots moves smoothly between contemporary R&B, warm guitar surfaces and pulsating grooves.

Her acclaimed 2025 debut EP You Don't Have To Love Me was awarded five stars by GAFFA and called “a strikingly strong debut”. In her music, a heart beats for justice, and with inspiration from Natasha, among others, she unfolds tales of standing up for herself and each other.

Although her solo career is still in the start-up phase, Ana Juél has a solid live experience — most recently at Orange Scene with Annika in 2025 as a choir singer, and this summer she revisits Roskilde Festival as a solo artist in First Days.

It all culminates on November 25, when Ana Juél sends dewy R&B energy from the stage edge of Ideal Bar.
