Hi Siri, thanks for joining us today! Can you tell us about your background and how you got into music?
I’m originally from Denmark but spent several years in England, which greatly influenced my artistic identity. My journey into music wasn’t traditional; I started later in life. I faced a significant challenge when I lost my voice for six years due to nerve damage, which compelled me to reconnect with my passion for music.
When I regained my voice, it came from a sincere place. I began writing out of a need to express myself rather than conforming to existing formats, and that mindset has remained with me.
What’s the live music scene like in Odense, Denmark? Any artists we should keep an eye on?
The Danish live music scene can be quite insular for emerging artists. There’s a strong inclination towards music in Danish, and for those of us writing in English, it can be challenging to find our niche in such a small country. However, I was truly grateful to headline my biggest show so far at Posten in Odense, which felt like a meaningful moment of recognition.
Do you think artists can sometimes fall victim to their surroundings?
Absolutely. I care deeply about diversity in the music industry and believe in the importance of authenticity over conformity. I don’t see myself as a victim; I see myself as a powerful woman who challenges norms and inspires true authenticity.
In an age where streams and algorithms often dictate what gets noticed, many unique voices remain unheard. We should celebrate differences rather than filter them out.
What’s your favorite social media platform and why?
Instagram is my favorite. It allows me to express myself visually while sharing vulnerable moments. I enjoy showcasing both polished and emotional sides of myself, and I feel a genuine sense of community with my followers there.
What are your thoughts on having a presence across various social media platforms?
While I believe presence is important, intention matters more. I’m not interested in being everywhere just for visibility; authenticity is my priority. I prefer to connect with genuine listeners rather than focusing on sheer numbers.
How do you view the current music industry?
The industry is complex. There are more opportunities than ever for independent artists, but there’s immense pressure to constantly release content. Major labels should continue to support modern artists and diverse voices. Success should encompass artistic depth and development, not just social media popularity.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned in your music journey?
The most significant lesson is to embrace my uniqueness and not try to fit in. I’ve followed my own path since the beginning, making choices that felt right for me as an independent artist, even when they didn’t align with conventional expectations.
Today, I trust my instincts more than ever and choose to work with people who prioritize art over numbers. I truly believe I’m good enough, and I hope to inspire others to embrace their own journey.
What music are you currently enjoying?
I’ve been listening to Olivia Dean a lot; she has a strong stage presence that I admire. I’m also inspired by artists like Robyn, who show that experience and longevity matter just as much as youth.
Can you share any funny or memorable moments from the stage?
During my first release concert, I wore a transparent blouse and didn’t realize until later that my top had slipped down, revealing my bra. It was a bit embarrassing, but I love how my audience embraces my quirks.
Do you have any amusing stories from life on the road?
Once, we played a show in Randers and were invited to stay at a community hostel. When we arrived at night, it was a deserted house that smelled terrible, and we panicked and ran away screaming. We definitely didn’t stay there!
Tell us about your new music.
My new song, Think I Said Something, carries a playful sense of humor while addressing the challenge of fitting into predetermined boxes. It reflects my authenticity and self-irony, celebrating who I am.
What was the recording process like?
The recording felt full-circle for me, bridging my experiences in England and Denmark. We started writing the song in my living room with close collaborators, and it evolved naturally. Working with my mentor, Mark Flannery, elevated the track significantly. The collaboration represents where I am now.
Would you change anything about the finished product?
I sometimes experience “closing anxiety,” but I’ve learned that authenticity is what makes a song great. If a song feels genuine, it’s perfect as it is. That’s exactly how I feel about Think I Said Something.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
Creativity has no expiration date. You don’t have to conform to move forward; staying true to yourself is powerful. Embrace all aspects of who you are, and don’t let others define your worth.
