About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting


I started working in television when I was eleven and ended up as a journalist, working as a freelancer for different Norwegian magazines.
Christmas Eve 2000 I was living in Granada, Spain and my boyfriend bought me a guitar. One thing followed another. I started writing songs. Moved back to Norway and held my first concerts. In 2005 I released my first album; “White lies” and I'm working on the second one.
My other great love is Queendom. We are five women of Norwegian, African and Caribbean descent creating meaningful, poetic, musical humour. I love it! www.queendom.no
