About Me

Hello I am Mette Damm and welcome to my little space at myspace.
I am a 25 year old Danish singer and composer living, writing and singing my songs; and I am currently studying at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen.
I have been writing songs since I was a very little girl, alongside with singing intensely and playing the piano.
Amongst a lot of other music related things, I practically grew up in the Danish National Girls Choir, where I got some wonderful experience as a soloist and just wonderful experiences in general:-)
And now I am here... Almost exclusively focusing on my own material which I play with my amazing band. We've been playing together for years now... far and wide!
In 2008 I received Rødovre Music-prize consisting of 40.000 Dkr to help me make the album of my dreams.
-And now I've finished my debut album, which will hopefully reach your stereos in the near future - and I've put some small samples out here, for your listening pleasure:-)
I hope you will receive my 'babies' with love...
