Safe & Sound

About Me

Hi. My name is Amalie Riis. I am 22 years old and I am a Danish singer/songwriter. I live in Malmö, Sweden, with my husband. (This is due to a Danish law, which prevents any Dane under the age of 24, to bring their non-EU-member-spouse into the country. Interesting law, right? I guess it's just not so practical to fall in love with an American.)
Back to the music !
In 2005 my band and I put out the first album “Places Where We Go” (produced by Jacob Horney and Jon Kruse). Since then I've been playing my songs, solo and with musicians, all around, near and far, for whoever was willing to listen. At the moment I am playing concerts and promoting my second album "Safe and Sound" (produced by Morten Maltesen) which came out in Denmark, this April. Later this year it will also be released in Sweden. I have been so lucky that the Danish radio is playing my music (GO INDIE ARTISTS!!). I write songs mostly in English, but I secretly plan to put out a Danish album at some point. The music is a mix between folk/Americana and pop.
My favorite gig is a house concert in a private home. Second runner up is at a cosy café where people are there to have a good time and to hear a good song. I love travelling and most of my childhood I spent on the road with my mother, who is also a songwriter. My songs are inspired by my journyes - big and small, love and life and everything in between. I recently signed with the Danish label, Songcrafter, on which my album has been released.
If you want to know more about the album, check out my latest blogs - and if you would like to be on the mailing list for your country (Denmark, USA, Sweden or Germany), just send me a message and let me know !

Thank you for listening,
Amalie
