ARTIST BIO

DENNIS is an electronic pop band from Minneapolis.

Driven by a lifelong obsession with pop music, Katie Bolin created DENNIS to turn the irresistible hooks and high-voltage beats swirling in her head into vibrant, high-energy electro-pop.

While studying the work of legendary producer Max Martin, she discovered his mentor Denniz Pop (1963–1998)—the architect of the iconic ’90s pop sound behind artists like Robyn and Britney Spears. The moment felt like a strange alignment of fate. Bolin committed herself to writing bold, melodic electronic pop in his honor, with the same gift for unforgettable hooks.

At the center of DENNIS is Bolin’s instinct for melody—crafting songs where driving electronic beats collide with explosive pop energy.

DENNIS is an electrifying trio led by Bolin on vocals, songwriting, and production; Sarah Morrison on bass, guitar, vocals, and songwriting; and Nigel Carleton on percussion, synth, and sampler.

Blending vibrant hardware-driven live sets with their self-described “ratpop” sound—driving beats, sharp lyrics, and fearless self-expression—DENNIS has built a devoted following in Minneapolis and beyond, earning airplay on The Current and college radio stations across the country. From basement shows to opening for The Suburbs, their performances deliver pure pop electricity—the kind that makes you dance, sing, and feel your heart beat right out of your chest.

"I Could Never Let You Go" was honored as #11 in the Top 89 local Minnesota songs by The Current.
