Biography

18-year-old SodL (Anja Sodnikar) was discovered at an open mic session at Austria’s most popular youth radio station FM4, where she performed her song Rosemary live and talked about writing songs and recording them in her bathtub. Her debut EP "flowers on the moon" is the embodiment of having a dream and believing unapologizingly in it until the seeds in your mind are nourished with faith and you make its buds slowly bloom into reality. SodL recorded the EP with her best friends live, in the most imperfect and raw way, at a local studio in her hometown Gmunden, in Austria. The divine feminine, as a fusion of music, poetry and magic, breathes life into Rosemary. At 15 years SodL wrote this song when she came in touch with her higher self for the first time and finally started to believe in herself. In Marionette, SodL sings about prejudice and self-respect using sarcasm to underline the absurdity of labeling people by their appearance. "ocean" tells a story about being doomed to drown in self-doubt and hatred but carried ashore solely by the power of your will to live. "eternity" captures the undeniable transience that has accompanied us since the day we were born and expresses the benefits of this knowledge which leads to cherishing every moment of being alive without evaluating it. Listening to this song feels like a lucid dream, entailed with a force of clarity yet overwhelming by its ethereal truth.
