Speaker 1: Yeah you saw a quaker, right, I saw many Quakers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful.
Speaker 2: I've never actually seen one. So what was that like?
Speaker 1: It was so much fun. I feel like it was
Speaker 1: one of those things where it felt like being in
Speaker 1: a Disney movie or something where they were just animals
Speaker 1: running around people and it was it was so cute.
Speaker 2: For people who don't know you do. You have an
Speaker 2: incredible story, an incredibly huge fan base. What is the
Speaker 2: lave aised story?
Speaker 1: The love story well, I'm from Iceland, yes, and I
Speaker 1: have Chinese as well, and I make music that's a
Speaker 1: blend of jazz music, classical music, barson nova pop music. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very reminiscent of the past. But I like telling stories.
Speaker 2: I love that. And then in the process, you have
Speaker 2: a massed and incredible fan base.
Speaker 1: The nicest people in the world.
Speaker 2: Aren't they. As I said, I saw you in December
Speaker 2: and there was a girl next to me and she
Speaker 2: when you came on, it was like something took over her.
Speaker 2: She was so excited.
Speaker 1: That's so cute. Yeah, it was. I feel so lucky
Speaker 1: to have such a beautiful community of people who are
Speaker 1: quite like minded. I always say I became the musician
Speaker 1: that I was missing when I was growing up. So
Speaker 1: I feel like I've grown a community that's very similar
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that because like, yeah, I like that
Speaker 2: that you became the musician that you were looking for
Speaker 2: when you were growing up.
Speaker 1: Well, I grew up playing cello, piano, classical music, singing
Speaker 1: jazz standards, but I was ultimately a very moderate girl
Speaker 1: and I wanted somebody to listen to and found over
Speaker 1: and get to go to concerts too. And I also
Speaker 1: didn't want it to be something that felt, you know,
Speaker 1: old fashioned or old in anyway.
Speaker 2: Which is what it is so beautiful about your music
Speaker 2: is you have managed to craft it in a way.
Speaker 2: And as I said to you, she must have been
Speaker 2: maybe sixteen, and I was, and I was like, you are, like, like,
Speaker 2: well crazy into It was great to say, I can't
Speaker 2: wait to see the show tonight and watch the fans
Speaker 2: go crazy. Do you do you get recognized in the
Speaker 2: street or are you going to account? Yeah? Oh, can
Speaker 2: you be a little bit incognito when you're off visiting
Speaker 2: the Quakers and stuff?
Speaker 1: I well, it definitely depends where I am, and it
Speaker 1: definitely depends on how I'm dressed. When I'm with my
Speaker 1: twin sister. I think it's really obvious because there's two
Speaker 1: of us, and sure any question in your mind is
Speaker 1: that her? Like if we're both there, then most likely
Speaker 1: it is me. Yeah, it depends on where it is.
Speaker 1: I feel like I kind of have the perfect blend
Speaker 1: of it where I get to meet fans who are
Speaker 1: usually very dedicated. They know a lot about me, have
Speaker 1: listened to the music, like I've touched their life in
Speaker 1: some way, and therefore they touch me. In some way.
Speaker 1: So it's always a very honest and beautiful exchange, or
Speaker 1: most of the time is a very honest and beautiful exchange.
Speaker 1: So and then you know, I'm still live a very
Speaker 1: normal life, joy doing so.
Speaker 2: You don't have a staff of one hundred or people
Speaker 2: around you cooking and cleaning, living the pop star dream.
Speaker 1: No, I'm from Iceland. I'm like, that's such such an
Speaker 1: un Icelandic mindset. And yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Is that still home or did you move? Have you
Speaker 2: moved to the US?
Speaker 1: Oh, I live in La Yeah. I think it's you know,
Speaker 1: and I definitely see that kind of star life and whatever,
Speaker 1: and you know, I get my little moments of it.
Speaker 1: It always kind of freaks me out and I just
Speaker 1: want to like river it back to being a child
Speaker 1: in Iceland.
Speaker 2: You have a twin, Yeah, identical identical? Tell me, honestly,
Speaker 2: have you ever switched out? Have you ever done a sweet?
Speaker 1: You know, you're not the first person to ask me.
Speaker 2: I have no doubt, and I'm sure you're gonna lie
Speaker 2: to me no matter even if you have, You're not
Speaker 2: going to tell me.
Speaker 1: You know, I could tell you yes and it would
Speaker 1: be a lie. I could tell you no. It would
Speaker 1: be a lie, you know.
Speaker 2: So, but could you? Could you let's pretend, let's just
Speaker 2: play a game. Let's pretend you were a little tired,
Speaker 2: right and she's not. Could you send her in your spot?
Speaker 2: And would we be able to tell the difference.
Speaker 1: I think you'd be able to tell the difference. I
Speaker 1: mean recently, we used to look very alike, but I
Speaker 1: cut my hair short. She has bangs now, yeah, fringe,
Speaker 1: so we're quite different. And and I think we also
Speaker 1: have grown into our different professions. So I don't think
Speaker 1: I could do what she does very well, okay, And
Speaker 1: I mean I mean she doesn't sing, so yeah she could.
Speaker 2: I wasn't meaning that I would push her out for
Speaker 2: you to sing. I mean just like, you know, hey,
Speaker 2: if if you need to be somewhere or walk something,
Speaker 2: and you're like yeah, I mean though tempting.
Speaker 1: I think I am, like I have some sort of
Speaker 1: childhood trauma or something. I'm really afraid of lying, Like
Speaker 1: I cannot tell a lie to save my life. You
Speaker 1: can see it on my face. And I don't like dishonesty,
Speaker 1: and I don't like being dishonest, so it would feel dishonest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you would not you would bear me.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm joking. Yeah, hey, this is a random question.
Speaker 2: But if people go to your Instagram, it looks different
Speaker 2: to other people's Instagram. Yes, it does, okay, because you
Speaker 2: have this thing called an Instagram ring. Right, congratulations you
Speaker 2: won that too. I think this is explain the award.
Speaker 2: I think Instagram give out people who are like culture movers.
Speaker 2: Culture make is the platform.

Speaker 1: a handful of creators, artists of many kinds this ring,
Speaker 1: and we got a real ring. It was really caused,
