   About Silje Karlsen



Silje%20Karlsen
Quantcast
"Gorgeous Scandi folk Chanteuse" - Howard Byrom, The Lancashire Guardian

"An extremely engaging performance. The audience was truly captivated" - Mat flynn, Honey Records


LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEOS:


Silje is not a biographist. She'd rather just write songs. Some of her songs are really quite pretty, while others are straightforwardly nasty little things. Silje plays the piano and makes up the pretty (or rather nasty) lyrics, and then gets them out to you in a vocal style that is a little like a lot of things, but not really quite like anything else.

Silje moved from her native Norway to England, to get a degree in music and become better at it, which she is quite convinced she actually did. Now she's back in Norway, living in Oslo and making a new EP which is possibly going to be named "A solution to all your problems". This one is without any added sugar, but we've added circus instead, so hopefully it is quite tasty after all. And if any of the lyrics affront you... Silje rather thinks you deserve it:)
