Why are we afraid of being hurt? Why do we protect ourselves instead of just going into things and living freely? My first original song “Tsunami” is about being overwhelmed by an uncontrollable unexpected feeling of falling in love. The song takes you through a journey of feelings, with a dreamy sound and soft playful lyrics.
I newly started speaking French, but that doesn’t stand in the way of expressing myself in a language so beautiful.
The genre is pop-py’, with jazzy chords and folky’ lyric-style. The song is produced by Jonathan Bremer from the well known duo Bremer/McCoy. I plan for this song to be the opener for many more to come.

Interviewed by Vogue France, Klara Kristin takes us inside her house in Montreuil and some of the most meaningful pieces in it.
I had started singing and performing since I was 2 years old but have left that passion of mine aside since I was 13 until I decided to get back to it 2 years ago.
When asked about my style, it’s hard to answer because that really depends on my mood. I could be feeling a very feminine look or a very tomboyish look, there’s no in between.
I also talk about how I got into my modelling career, how I started singing and my new upcoming album..

Tell me how you got into music?
“I have always sung but until now it was my little secret. Three years ago, when I moved to Paris, I fell in love with these slightly outdated French songs, this music that my Danish grandparents listened to when they lived here in the 60s and 70s. been able to combine two projects with pleasure: learning the French language and getting into music. And Lullaby & Drum machine was born”

Wow, what a big question to start with! It’s important to me to find my own version of beauty in the quiet moments. Watching the seasons change. Something as simple as opening my windows, letting the fresh air into my apartment and breathing it in. Washing my face or even just drinking a glass of water. That’s where I find beauty, in simplicity.
I always focus on staying true to who I am and who I was before this crazy ride started. I’m surrounded by so many amazing new people in my career now, but they may not all be there when my moment is gone. So it’s critical to keep what’s important to me very close. I went into this whole thing not knowing much about the worlds I was going to be navigating.
I quickly learned to play along with “the game” so to speak. All the things that were unfamiliar to me before; the dinners at incredible restaurants, traveling around the world, beautiful hotels and all those things – they are a part of me now. I embrace and enjoy them so much but I also realize it isn't permanent and that I shouldn't get too attached.
Nevertheless, I am always present and thankful for what I’m engaged in and what I am doing. I remind myself of the things that are actually important when I am not the one in the spotlight. To be close to my family, to have an apartment where I can feel at home and recharge, connecting with my old friends, hanging out with my aunt, and talking to my family are all things that I feel keep me down to earth.
Now, I have my music, and no one can take that away from me. Nobody is going to stop me from sitting down at the piano and writing a song about something I want to say. That has changed my life. Having that has made me another person.
It’s really quite strange; the thing I feel I was meant to do has always been right in front of me; I just couldn’t see it. I’m basically at a place right now where I’m trying to convince myself that all the detours it took to get to the music were very lucky. All my experiences are part of what I use in my work now and the detours are what inspire my lyrics. My life is really where it is because of pure coincidence, which is weird since my ego tries to control everything.
When I was younger, I felt like it wasn’t acceptable to not have an answer when someone asks you what you want to do in life, so I tried to plan everything out. I had a tendency to really focus on one strict way of achieving what I wanted, to work towards an extremely focused goal. But I’ve learned I always have a big break when I release control and just go with the flow. At some point when I’ve had enough, when it seems like it’s not happening and I almost give up – that’s when the big thing happens.
It’s been a long trip to accept that it’s okay to not have all the answers, it’s okay to not know what you want to do sometimes… I am trying to let go and live my life more openly – that’s when the magic happens for me.
