"Even though this young lady is from Sweden, Id place her at the forefront of the American vanguard. One listen will tell you why and how." - PopDose

Unmistakably Nordic in style, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music. The North Sea siren blends sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music that has been described as neo-folk.

Sofia mixes her Nordic melancholy with a twang of Americana, creating a special niche of folk music. Driven by a steady beat through foot percussion and rhythmic guitar picking, you cant believe she is actually alone on stage. At the forefront of her craft is her invigorating vocals, which steal the show. Her songs go straight to the heart with engaging lyrics, and she binds them together with personal anecdotes from her many tours in the USA and Europe. She has graced the stages at big festivals like Lollapalooza and SxSW but is just as comfortable in the intimate setting of listening rooms like Hotel Café (L.A) and The Living Room (NYC). With over 400 concerts under her belt and numerous tours, her talent lies as much in her music as in her way of making you feel like youre the only one in the room with her, no matter if there are 50 or 5000 more.
