I'm a Zambian-Norwegian artist based in Bergen. I grew up in a small town near Oslo, and I've spent a long time since then people watching and delving into the emotional via music and other art forms.

I write about fractures — the kind I notice in others, and the ones I recognize in myself. I want the music to feel intimate. PLayful. Like something experienced rather than performed.

My debut album Back in the Tall Grass came out in 2019. A new LP is on the way.

- Colleague

"Expect alternative pop with a quiet bite. The songs sound soft until you realize they cut straight to the bone."
- Cowboy Consciousness

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