Born in a small Norwegian town, Silje spent her first years running around the forest singing stories to herself. Now 23, she is an artist and songwriter with a BA in music and plenty of songs in her bag, along with the talking weasel.
She has spent the last years gigging the UK and Norway, supporting the likes of Vijay Kishore and Anne Grete Preus. She has performed live on Spanish radio and on Manchester TV, and been played on Norwegian radio. Silje's music is a heady tincture of rock, pop and folk, spiced with Scandinavian traditional music, punk and jazz. Her poetic, ironic lyrics are wrapped in quirky but hummable melodies and refreshingly original arrangements.

An extremely engaging performance. The audience was truly captivated. (
) a highly capable performer on a number of instruments, as well as an accomplished and highly expressive vocalist. - Mat Flynn, Honey Records
