Career

Laurberg grew up in the town of Helsinge, [2] Denmark, where she attended a private Christian school during her youth. She attributed developing anxiety as a result of her time there due to bullying from classmates, as well as teachers. [3] However, one teacher did encourage her to pursue becoming a musician after hearing her play, which she cited as an influence. [3] After graduation from school, she moved into an apartment in Copenhagen, which led to her first solo performance at a local outdoor venue, Byhaven. [3]

At age 16, Laurberg released her first single "Puppy Dog Eyes" on 8 November 2016. [3] [4] Four years later, she released her debut EP titled, Phase Five. [5] [6] Released on her own record label, the EP received positive reviews and drew comparisons to Billie Eilish, [7] whom Laurberg cited as an inspiration for her own music. [8]

Her debut studio album was released on 21 August 2020, entitled Bænkevarmer. [9] The first single from the album, "Terrier", reached number six on the Danish charts. [10] The song covered topics surrounding mental health, including self-harm. [9] The second single released from the album "Jeg ka' rigtig godt li' dig" further increased her profile in the music scene, [11] ultimately receiving an award for "Danish Hit of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards, alongside Andreas Odbjerg who featured in the song. [12] [13] The song has reached number two on the Danish charts, [10] and the duo has performed the song at several festivals, including Roskilde Festival in 2023. [14] [15] In addition to the awards, the song reached double platinum-certification by IFPI Danmark. [16]

Personal life

Laurberg has been diagnosed with both anxiety and depression, and has stated on several occasions that both play a factor in her creative process for writing music. [3] [17] In 2023, she was diagnosed with ADHD. She sought out a diagnosis following conversations with her then-boyfriend, as well as trying ADHD medication. [17] [18] She has stated that she wants to use the platform afforded to her through music to create openness about mental health. [9]
