Biography

Nuanced, intimate songwriting with warm instrumentation characterizes the music of singer-/songwriter Sara Fjeldvær. With her hook-laden melodies and distinct vocals, Fjeldvær guides us with ease through heavy emotions and shares wistful feelings in her alternative pop universe. Sara Fjeldvær grew up on a small island on the coast of Norway. Raised in a house full of instruments in a small community, inspiration was no shortage. Spending her early teens listening to Eva Cassidy and Susanne Sundfør and her fathers piano playing, Fjeldvær started writing songs from an early age. She later discovered The Who, King Crimson and Bob Dylan among others, and went on to study Performing Jazz at The Music Conservatory at NTNU, expanding her songwriting further. Her music is much shaped by the musicians of the band whom she has played with for many years: Amund Storløkken Åse (I LIKE TO SLEEP), Johannes Konstad Brevik (The Impossible Green), Alexander Riris (Barrage) and Øyvind Leite (I LIKE TO SLEEP). Both her debut album and latest release “Best Love” was recorded in Nyhavna Studio in Trondheim along with producer and studio engineer Mathias Angelhus. Her much anticipated second album is set to release in February of 2024.
