Sofia Talvik – Americana / Folk with Swedish Roots
Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music.
totallyfreemusic has put together a small guide to where you can find more of my music for free.
I’ve got a bunch of songs scattered around the web on different platforms for you all to download.

Export Music Sweden (EXMS) added a bunch of videos from some of my many showcases at SXSW 2009.

Sofia did a splendid job at SXSW, knocked out the audience at no less than 6 showcases and started a collaboration with American label Worldsound.
– It’s a collaboration that suits the way I work, says Sofia, we have a partner deal so I won’t be kicking off my shoes and wait for anyone else to take charge. My goal has always been to carry a strong business and be able to make my own choices. With Worldsound I have finally found a US label that is on the same page as me.
Worldsound describes Sofia as “The best Swedish discovery since Ikea”.
Worldsound will represent Sofia and Makaki Music worldwide, outside of Sweden, starting in March 2009.
Musical Discoveries has made a really consistent review of “Jonestown” and took the opportunity to ask me a few questions while they were at it.
“Her crystalline vocals soar above arrangements as the album develops into its full splendor. (…)Jonestown demonstrates a significant artist development and an excellent launch point for the next phase of Sofia’s career.”

My producer Tobias Fröberg is bringing a new sound to the next album “Jonestown”. Today he even brought some extra 70’s feeling to the studio, a cozy psychedelic lamp to go with the music. Well I think it did the trick. I’m in the groove so keep an eye and an ear out for more upcoming news about it all.
I’ll try to post a tune for you all later.
Here’s a video of the lamp:
