Imagine if water had a voice and it was guided by the curves and paths of piano acting as its river bed. Inger Nordvik is a Norwegian singer and composer whose musical universe is shaped by her classical background, roots in Norwegian folk music but also by her surroundings growing up in the wild nature of the north. Compared already to the likes of Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush, it has been said that her music tends to avoid perfection in a catchy way, defying easy categorisation as it expands into pop, Nordic folk and jazz.

Born in the Norwegian city of Harstad, Inger started playing the piano at the age of six.  Her passion for music later inspired her to pursue an education in classical singing, and by the age of 19, she attended the renowned Barratt Due Institute of Music in Oslo. However, her intuitive understanding of music as well as her interest in pop, soul and jazz, brought her back to where it all started, in front of the piano, improvising and creating melodies. 

After finishing her music studies, Inger started experimenting with songwriting and diving into different musical endeavours. She eventually started a collaboration with two jazz-musicians which opened a door to a whole new world of creativity, and dynamics within the writing process as well as the interactive improve within her live set. Her debut album “Time” released on February 7th 2020 has a unique and well crafted sound, harnessing the acoustics of century-old churches for the recording.  She hand picked a mix of string players, small choirs and jazz musicians to create an organic and warm touch that is the signature sound of her music.  

Whether solo or accompanied by musicians, Inger always takes time to taylor to the fine details in her compositions and performances, watching them grow and slowly take on a life of their own. Soft and intimate at moments and stormy and chaotic at others, her music seeks its roots. Like water flowing to the source, her sweet and crystal clear voice is a beacon in an ocean of words.
