It’s been a while, since I updated you all on what’s going on.

Listening Room Retreat Copenhagen
It’s been quite a while since I was able to join a songwriting retreat. The last one I did was the Ukulele Songwriters Camp in Berlin in February 2020.

I really enjoyed the latest songwriting sessions with my husband Greg. He has a background in writing so I feel like he really brings an interesting set of skills to our sessions. “The Rain” is by far my favorite song that we did together and I hope you enjoy it just as much.

On my Way is a song that I started writing a couple of months ago. Well actually I came up with the chord progression and melody for the chorus somewhere in a hotel room.

Hey lovelies, hope you are ready for another fun, animal song. I’ve been on holidays together with my husband, and somehow we both were in songwriting mood. As you probably know, we’ve been writing “Executive Realness Monkey Business” together and our recent collab includes animals as well. But there’s a bit more to the story of the song.
