As long as you play well
Photographer Kristin Svanæs made a documentary on girls choosing male dominated areas in music. She filmed and interviewed myself, a growler and a drummer. My quote "As long as you play well people don't care what gender you are" became the project title.

INFI camp


In june I was asked to become a co-leader INFI (International Network for Female Instrumentalists) together with Nina Kristine Linge. We hope to inspire more girls and women to become instrumentalists, and so we organized a camp at Fridheims Folkhögskola in Sweden, ending with a concert at Aarhus Jazzfestival.

Join us for next years camp at: www.infi.im
