I'm a Zambian-Norwegian artist out of Ås, a small town near Oslo. I currently  live in the city of Bergen, were I've spent a long time people-watching. I examine fractures and vulnerabilities in myself and others.
I hope my music feels like a socially realistic film with natural lighting: slow, detailed, and from time to time heartbreaking ✩ ♬ ₊.🎧⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧𓆩♡𓆪.
Going forward my plan is for my classical roots and art-pop instincts to collide with my desire to make club music with emotional precision, creating songs that are soft, deliberate, and subtly insisting that you feel.
Btw my debut album Back in the Tall Grass (2019) was met with critical acclaim in Norway and beyond.

And now i've got another LP coming on June 6th.

"Her matter-of-factness drills in the brutality"
