Singer / Musician / Songwriter of World, Folk and Pop

Sofia Talvik has emerged like a lady of the forest, bringing a new interesting side to folk music. She's playing a unique blend of folk-pop (someone said Neo-Folk). This American genre filtered through her Swedish heritage, becomes something totally unique, a blend that has attracted attention from a broad audience all over the world. Her soft and airy music at her combination of modal chord changes and beautiful 60's euro-pop melodies combined with the gentle singing of a 70's folk songstress will make you think of Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Jewel and Aimee Mann. Her soft and airy music has been recognized by music lovers and critics all over the world letting her tour the US several times and ­making her the first ever Swedish female singer to play at the Lollapalooza festival. Sofia Talvik is absolutely freaking gorgeous, and her charming stage presence will draw you in, all the more. Not only is she a great singer, she fingerpicks her acoustic flawlessly, reminiscent of the steady subtle perfection of Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Do you believe in fairytales?
