i’m the most un-mysterious person on the planet.

I’ve always had a love for music but nothing beats performing on stage. Being on stage is, without a doubt, my favorite thing in the world. I always knew I wanted to become a pop star but the path wasn't clear.

After high school I decided to leave Gothenburg and move to New York and study musical theater where I spent six months sharpening my cat-acting skills. Time wasted - however, it did ignite a new and even stronger spark in my ambition to become a pop star.

I returned to Sweden fully motivated to chase my dream. The pieces of the puzzle started falling into place when I enrolled in the songwriters academy, Musikmakarna, where I changed my attitude towards songwriting. 

I started enjoying it instead of seeing it as a necessity to reach my pop star dream. I finally started to understand how to express myself and which world my music best fit in.

My songs are very transparent and you never need to guess what they’re about. No need to complicate. Most often I write about problems that aren’t really problems. 

I’m actually quite an anxious human being and I combat this by making fun of myself and incorporating plenty of irony. Even if I tried, I could unfortunately never become the coolest artist out there. So I might as well just be the complete opposite.
