What do you get when you put a bunch of creative nutjobs on an idyllic natural reserve island in Sweden?
Goodtimes.Good music. No sleep.
Just spent a small week at Songfarm, a writingcamp with about 30 beautiful creative writers, producers, musicians.
So much fun!

i’m a lucky gal… i get do do what i love and live in the city i love!
And yes i am an artist, i write songs like a machine and have my own thing, but there’s also an art to interpreting other peoples songs.
Being one of the Darby Vixens not only do i get to sing a bunch of songs i love , but i get to harmonize and go nutz on stage with very talented people! Aaaaand strut around like a diva from the 30s..
It inspires me and every time i’m there i have such a great time!

The Norwegian MGP competition has come to an end..It’s been insanely fun!! And i couldn’t be happier with how it all went down! I didn’t make it to the final but really got everything i wanted. I’m so happy with the fact I did it my way, got so much great response and press from people and stirred it all up a little .I’m so grateful to all the people who rooted for me and who “got mad” on my behalf haha.Thank u! And i did win really.. My bestie from the competition Tooji won the whole shabang!! I showed my support at the final with a big golden T on my outfit and almost couldn’t contain my excitement! I’m so proud of him and know he will do great things beyond the competition! He’s a beautiful person and we became really good friends. But just friends despite what some medias have insinuated. The fact that we kissed on tv last saturday was pure euphoric (!) joy that he won! Love u Tooji! <3 Go get em!
