Skjolven musician presentation

Storytellig

by singing with frame drum

Skjolven

My music and lyrics are inspired by spiritual life, Viking Age, women's history and nordic storytelling tradition. My language is primarily Danish with a historical tone.

I sing my own songs accompanied by framedrum and/or percussion.

The woman and the frame drum are an ancient tradition - a calling - that goes back to priestesses, shamans and matriarchs in prehistoric times. I was drawn to my musical universe 2010-12 and have since composed over 60 songs accompanied by frame drum.

I am a self-taught singer, songwriter, composer, instrument builder and multi-artist. I have been playing percussion most of my life. My favorite instrument since 2017 is the frame drum played by hand. I am a Student from Frame Drum Academy by Marla Leigh Goldstein, California. (ed. 2023).
