#123 Fia, folk pop singer/songwriter of transformational music

Fia was ten years old when she went to a Christmas concert at a cultural school in Sweden and first heard an oboe. “I got so enchanted, I said I want to learn,” and she started taking lessons. She began writing songs, in both Swedish and English, and as a writer she writes about her life, the people she meets, and the stories they tell. She was in many bands and different genres, but a few years ago began on a solo track, and started writing about spirituality, which resonated with people and there was a ripple effect, where she gained a following. She crowd-sourced her first album, Made of Stars.

She calls her music “transformational music” that inspires self-reflection and serves as reminders of who we are, which calls us back to our most inner core and connecting us to source, universe, and God. She says we like to see ourselves reflected, and the role of the artist or musician is to put words to emotions that can interact with and lead to a deeper understanding of the self. Writing and singing songs is her way of making contributions and she trusts that she will make a positive mark on this world.

She says, inspiration is found everywhere, it is a divine spark, and when we follow it, it opens the possibility to create so much magic that is unique from our soul. What she is passionate about is to invite people back to themselves and ask who are you, what is your truth, let me see you. And they can be more in touch with themselves. I also see women rising to their own magic and becoming a force on the planet. People should reconnect with their authentic voice - not just talking but singing; what if we sang more? We need to dance, to sing, to tell stories, or we can become sick. “We all have the ability to be light beams ... change makers, on a big scale, small scale, it doesn't matter. We have a lot more power than many of us might think.”
