Here&#8217;s what went down when we grabbed five&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>How did it all start for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Wow, it\u2019s difficult to set a start point. I started playing the lyre in kindergarten and then I taught one instrument by another. But it was first in high school I started writing music and preforming live. I and my friend had a duo and we were rehearsing and writing music every day and that\u2019s when it started for real.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What does your typical day look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I spend my days in the studio, recording and writing. I record some parts in my home studio and some parts with my producer in a more full-scale studio. If I\u2019m not in the studio I\u2019m rehearsing or writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Describe your sound in three words\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Melancholic, soft and mysterious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What was your most memorable gig?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">It was in Berlin. I played with my friend in many small bars. Not many gigs can be compared to those in Berlin. The audience is so respectful and reverential. You enter a smoky room with a boisterous crowd but the minute you start playing it becomes silent and you could hear a pin drop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What did you have on your playlist growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">My early inspirations are Sigur Ros, Kate Bush, and Joanna Newsom. They still are my all-time favourites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What\u2019s the last song you listened to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">It was the new album of Nils Fram &#8211; <em>All Melody.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Who\u2019s the coolest person you\u2019ve met?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">My Siberian husky Aisha<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>If you could collab with anyone who would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">There&#8217;s a Swedish string quartet called \u2019Fleshquartet\u2019. That would be a cool collab I think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What does 2018 have in store for you? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I have a lot. More music coming, shows and writing and recording.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>What advice would you give anyone wanting to get into music? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">When I went to school we always got this advice, to find your own thing and to create a good contact network. I always thought it sounded cheesy but I\u2019m starting to realize there is actually a lot to it. <strong>My style is&#8230; <\/strong>When it comes to my music I\u2019m very picky and sometimes a bit too pretentious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>I really can&#8217;t live without&#8230;<\/strong> My wine glasses, lyre, piano, banjo and computer. Music simply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>At the weekend I can be found\u2026<\/strong> In the studio having weekend session or in the darkroom developing photos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>My special skills are&#8230;<\/strong> My stubbornness. I never give in or give up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>I&#8217;m always talking about\u2026<\/strong>My dog and my music<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The hashtag I always use is\u2026<\/strong>I\u2019m not that good with hashtags but it\u2019s probably #husky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>A word or phrase I overuse is\u2026<\/strong> I have no idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we&#8217;re crushin&#8217; on Swedish singer-songwriter, Menke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[192,193,3239],"tags":[3090,5294,3091],"class_list":["post-46765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interview-au","category-music-au","category-play-au","tag-friday-au","tag-menke-au","tag-muse-au"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
