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.
I recently joined up with the site friaburma.nu where you easily can donate money through a text message (sms) to help the struggle for freedom in Burma.
The result is a video of me performing one of the songs from my upcoming album live in a studio while being filmed. The song is called Arms and Armour (lyrics available on www.myspace.com/sofiatalvik ) and you can now watch the live video on friaburma.nu or directly here below:
Arms and Armour Live (Jonestown 2008) – Sofia Talvik
Swedish newspaper Metro is writing about me again.
I’m dedicating one of my new songs from the upcoming album “Jonestown” to the people in Burma and their fight for democracy.
You can hear the song and see a video of me performing it on friaburma.nu.
Make a contribution today by sending an textmessage and donate some money.

Last year I donated a song to HelpCureBreastcancer to help raise money for breast cancer research!
This year me and a couple of other artists each designed a t-shirt for Rosa Bandet and Modette.se to help raise money for the cause. The t-shirts will be auctioned out on tradera.se from tuesday onward, but you can get a peak of what my t-shirt looks like here. All the money from the auction will go to the research to find a cure to breast cancer.

Today I met up with artist and producer Tobias Fröberg to start recording demos for my third album. I’m quite excited that Tobias might be producing it as I feel he can bring something new to my songs. And he’s got a microphone from the 30’s that looks like an exhaust pipe, how weird is that? but it does sound really nice. Tobias is also about to finish his third album and the material sounds terrific, check out his last album on www.myspace.com/tobiasfroberg
