About
Scandinavian songwriter and jazzsinger with a broad experience in different genres. She has worked with a long line of different musicians and producers in Scandinavia, Europe and Brazil. Though she mostly enjoys writing music for other artists - she also finds the time for her own projects.
Her musical resumé stretches from brazilian underground clubmusic, samba and reggae with Kristiansand Symphonic Orchestra - to pop, electronica, house, EDM, acoustic country, folk music, jazz and soul. Moving smoothly between the edges of musical genres, and picking up influences from around the world.
Her songs has been featured in major media as Rolling Stones Magazine BR, TV Brasil, SBT Brasil, O Globo and a broad selection of music media all over the globe. Her sound has been mentioned to remind the listener of other jazz and soul-artists such as Lisa Ekdahl, Silje Nergård, Portishead and Selah Sue - while also being inspired by artists such as Erykah Badu, Leo Middea, Yuna, Amel Larrieux and Melody Gardot.
In the summer of 2018 she invited a selection of her favorite musicians to join her at Kongshavn Studio, on the southern coast of Norway. With producer Bjørn Ole Rasch - they recorded what has become her debut album. A deep dive into the rhythms of brazil, fused with nordic melodic styles within jazz and neo-soul.
Album to be released in 2020.
