With your art you try to explore love, self-love, existential questions and your inner battles surrounding your identity, is that right? What is one of the most existential question you ask yourself? And have you found an answer to it?

No…if I had the answers I wouldn’t continue searching. I never will fully master a craft just like I will never fully master the art of living. It’s all about that ride and my ways on that ride is creating a creative space for it. A therapeutic holy space for me and for others to take part in it and find new ways of co-existing in it. That’s the beauty of what I do. I get to do art and that’s what it’s all about.

“We tend to want to outdo ourselves all the time in a world where we constantly share and compare online.”

How have you come to terms with your identity?

Wow this is a deep question to start with. I reckon everyone eventually do then. For me it’s been through a lot of solitude… singing and appreciating my gifts and blessings over and over again… a blessing doesn’t have to be a talent, we tend to want to outdo ourselves all the time in a world where we constantly share and compare online… I mean just being able to breathe and live in the role of being the best daughter…or best friend or lover. As soon as the picture gets foggy I tend to stop searching as if I put my hands into some kind of higher power, trusting it will see me through. And it usually does, usually when I stop trying for something or someone… or trying for myself. It’s just one big short life where we all play equally important parts because we’re all contributing and sharing energies that make this globe and time what it is. Being responsible for my own energy is another thing. A lot of empathy and self-love hand in hand helps on the path…

What is the song K about – and it´really beautiful btw!

Thank you! It’s a song dealing with loss, confrontation and honesty in love…. it came out of a heartbreak and I was going to make it a typical heartbreak song but I didn’t, I wanted to reflect on many situations where people I have loved have changed and suffered because of this whole idea of things being greener on the other side and then at the end of the day coming back to the foundation that loved them, trying to prove something on an empty tank.

Are there ever times where you think that it´s too hard within the music business and you’d rather get a “normal” 9-5 job?

Yes! Every other day. It’s been less recently.

One of the happiest moments this week has been…?

Booking my holiday trip and picking Swedish berries with my best friend – my dad and appreciating him being my dad and best friend all over again. I’m so proud of him and to be his daughter, he has helped me so much, he is so unselfish and always keeps the inspiration of me being me alive and that is something I’ve wanted to write about and I guess I got the chance to mention it here like this.

“I love getting older. I’ve become more reflective and relaxed.”

The last time you cried?

The day before yesterday.

The most exciting thing about being young these days.. and the most difficult parts?

I feel semi-young. I’ve been younger and dumber for sure… I love getting older. I’ve become more reflective and relaxed. I think when you’re young you feel like you have so much to live up to and when you get older that list gets less and less. Then there’s this charm of living in oblivion when you’re young… that I kind of miss. It’s so innocent and pure.

You a wildfire
You let it happen
Then you go to the waters
In search for something deeper
You have a lot in common
Down at the bottom
Always moving towards surfaces
To show your features
