my biography
ING-J (born. oct 18, 1981, Bodø, Norway) is a confessional alternative singer/songwriter, inspired by music.
ING-J was raised on a sheep farm in the north of Norway, on the cold island of Gjerøy. Her first 4 years were spent there before her family decided to move south, to Hamar, Norway.
She began playing guitar and writing songs from an early age. As a 15-year-old, her first band Eruptiva was founded. The band was a local success and was awarded several prizes for outstanding performances.
Craving further exploration with her vocal expression she and some friends started Coax, an alternative and theatrical band looking for musical identity. The band mixed and transformed different styles such as circus, rock, grunge and indie music and dazzled their audiences with theatrical stage performances. Here she found ways of interpreting dramatic and playful vocals.
She left The band in 2004. In the same year ING-J met the madagascan guitarist Dozzy, founding member of the band Njava, who has worked with artists like Deep forest and Ben Harper. Dozzy heard ING-J's demo recording and saw her potential and encouraged her to develop her own music more, instead of remaining in the style of the band she was in. Through their growing friendship they started experimenting together musically, and the ensuing recording sessions led to new songs being written and Ing-j was inspired to broaden her musical expression and to take to the stage with her own material for the first time.
Traveling to Madagascar to work in Dozzy´s studio there Ing-j challenged her Scandinavian ”ice queen stiffness” and the song So Cold is an expression of a search for a more extrovert female expression, finding her own very experimental inner voice. ”music is my therapy”
Sharing music experiences with people in Madagascar was a strong experience, the music is so powerful when you don’t own much, it’s an universal language that speaks to our souls and let us meet on an equal level. If you have an appreciation of music you are rich. Being in Madagascar made me feel rich in my soul.
This push towards self-expression was a long time coming and in Dozzy she had found a true mentor. Together they started a fruitful working relationship.
