Everyone has a relationship with music. My conscious relationship started when I was five years old and I had to walk in the dark all by myself for the first time. I was going to go play with my neighbour who lived near by. I was scared of the dark. It was the middle of winter, snowdrifts were high and it was freezing. We lived outside the town so there were no streetlights. The crescent moon and the stars were shining brightly. My grandmother had told me that there was nothing to be afraid of but if I felt scared I could sing to the stars and to the moon. That would make me friends with darkness.

I remember watching the nightsky and wondering what should I sing to them. I started singing quietly asking for friendship and protection, making the song up as I was walking. As I kept singing I forgot about my fear, my voice got stronger and I started to enjoy the journey. I felt I was really making friends with darkness. This way of making songs and singing while walking in the nature became a habit of mine although I wasn’t afraid anymore. In a way I guess I’m still making songs to keep in touch with my friend darkness.

I went to music playschool at the age of three. I don’t have any recollections of that. The first time I remember singing is that walk in the dark. Well anyway, my family noticed my enthusiasm towards music and took me to study music further. At seven I started to play accordion, I was fourteen when I grabbed a guitar and sixteen when I started classical singing. I never liked to study though, I always just wanted to do my own thing, play without sheet music and sing without somebody telling me if it was the right way to sing or not.

These songs are composed and recorded in a way that I would describe aleatoric romance. My emotions, state of mind and chance mostly directs what is about to happen. I might be playing and recording something with no purpose when I fall in love with some melody or sound. Then I keep that and move on creating what ever it is to be born.

The more freedom I give to myself the more I enjoy the process of making music. So that’s what it’s about; creating, playing and expressing myself.
