When I was 19 I suddenly found myself in the middle of the music industry when I won POPSTARS in 2014. It opened doors to a record deal, a professional studio, and collaborations with talented songwriters and producers. But I soon realized that I longed to find my own voice, and the journey taught me so much.
Today, I do almost everything myself. I write, produce, compose, mix, design artwork, and handle my own promotion. Music is my way of understanding the world, and I also hope to give something back through my songs. I love the freedom of being independent and creating music on my own terms.
Music is my diary. It helps me process life—the beautiful and the difficult. Beyond music, I also work as a folk high school teacher, and the young people I work with inspire me every day. I still remember what it felt like to be a teenager, caught in a whirlwind of emotions, expectations, and doubt. Music isn’t just something I do. It’s who I am.

How do you express yourself? For me, it’s music, obviously. But now, not just with lyrics and composition, but also through music production. Lately, I’ve been making a lot of music in my own cozy bedroom studio, and it’s been eye-opening. Getting into music production lets me feel everything more deeply, and I love being able to share my stories through this new way of self-expression. ‘Some Part of Me’ is out on Friday! 🤍

Singing a song is more than just hitting the right notes and following the melody. It's a raw interpretation of the lyrics and emotions in that exact moment. Each performance is unique, and I'm constantly discovering new layers and interpretations in my own performance.
I’ll be sharing something special with you on Monday!

Putting the EP together was quite a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Each song represents a moment in time, a feeling, a situation that I’ve experienced first hand. Releasing these songs for everyone to hear, makes me both anxious and excited at the same time. But I’m really proud to share this time-capsule with ya’ll and hope you can find some meaning in my songs.

My EP is called ‘CALL ME QUEEN’ for a specific reason.
Creating this piece felt like building my own queendom - a queendom where I’m in control of my own story. Each song is a testimony of how much I’ve grown as a human being and as an artist during the process of making the EP. Hopefully the songs will inspire you to feel confident and strong. Put on your crown and let me hear you roar!
It's out on Friday and you can pre-save it here: iva.ffm.to/call_me_queen

In one week I’ll be releasing my debut-ep! This is a BIG deal for a small-town girl like me and to be honest - this makes me so proud! I’m not only a singer, but also songwriter and producer on this EP, which makes it even more exciting!
This is truly a dream coming true and I hope that some of my songs can inspire you to take a leap of faith and do something that makes you happy 🫶🏼

Do you know the law of cognition? What you think is what you believe, which impacts how you feel, which then impacts what you do. So how do we learn to think more wisely?

“Do you know the feeling? I’ve always seen myself as a person who’s struggled with words. But when I write a song, it helps me to express my words in music. ‘FIX MY PROBLEMS’ is out this Friday and I’m so excited to share a very vulnerable song with you.
